Wally: The kinds of things that happen when a gentleman goes for a walk
"Wally is nine years old, when big dogs start to slow down, right? Not this lively fellow.
As we headed toward Democrat along the farmer's field, Wally suddenly decided what he really needed was a good alfalfa facial. He spent a couple of minutes rubbing his face in the fragrant flowers, making sure both sides were thoroughly massaged.
After doing what was needed to fill a p**p bag completely, Wally headed up toward the Democrat ridge, only to be stymied by the resident herd of pronghorn (which he didn't really notice). But when he headed back down to the Democrat road, he did flush three strays who bounded away down and across the road to the large field at the bottom of the draw. Wally at first did some bounding of his own, flinging his leashed human to and fro. Then he stopped stock still, staring at the tiny pronghorn far away.
After not getting to hike to the ridge or chase after pronghorn, Wally settled for a quick dip in the shaded pool up the road. In the usual doggy manner, he splashed about the shallow pool and spent some time sniffing at the foliage on the edges.
This is Wally's world in late summer as he and his amazing tail head back toward the shelter. The pronghorn had fled to the field on the right 30 minutes earlier. He came across a hiker and a pretty little black and white dog who ignored his advances and trotted right on by.
So photogenic, he deserves one last picture in his beautifully lit landscape."
Age is no match for this guy! Happy hiking Wally!
