Charlie’s favorite trail is the one that runs along a small creek. He always tries to take a dip but often it’s a little too deep and I don’t want to bring him home sopping wet. So I tell him “Not today, Charlie,” and we continue on our way. Today, the creek was low and nothing more than a puddle really. Charlie looked at it when we got to that part of the walk as he always does. Then he looked at me. He got that hopeful look in his soft eyes … as if saying “pretty please,” and I completely caved. “Go ahead,” was all I needed to say and he tromped in and immediately stretched down for joy. Some days you just gotta let a pup be a pup 🐶 (I made sure to dry his paws at the car before we headed home, too). 😉
