A walk along the canal

This afternoon it was lovely and sunny so off I went along the canal for my walk. Today I was in 'mega slow snail mode!' It's not really that exciting along the canal for a gorgeous little collie like me. I have to stay on my lead because lots of cyclists use the canal path and Ann's always worried that I'll walk in front of them and make them tipple topple off their bikes into the water. Therefore I've had no run about time today and no splish, splash, sploshing time.



However, Ann got really annoyed with me because I was walking so slowly. She kept saying, 'Molly, get a move on. Snails can go quicker. I haven't got all day.' Well actually she did have all day because she's done nothing today. She's just frittered the whole day away watching trashy TV and reading trashy magazines instead of doing domesticated chores.



Ann always carries an 'emergency bus fare' in her pocket when I'm out for my walks, just in case I get tired and we need to get a bus home. Today was the first day that she's actually thought we might have to give up on the walk and jump on a bus and go home. However, we persevered and I trudged along behind her and eventually we made it home. I've been snoozing ever since.



So why do you think I'm in 'snail mode' today? Do you think it's because walking in the rain yesterday wore me out? Or do you think it's because I was angry that I wasn't allowed off my lead? Or do you think I'm just having an 'off' day? Who knows???
