Today's walk

Merlin was really dragging after a block so I went back home and got his cart. He didn't want to walk in it so I took him out and carried the cart for three blocks. By then he was really tired so I put him back into it and again he refused to move. I left him and Teddy and I walked down the sidewalk to sit and wait. He came running. Then refused to move again. So then Teddy and I walked to my corner, again, Merlin came. That worked all the way into the house, where I bribed him with treats to come.

He does quite well in the cart when he wants to, but then, he can trot along pretty well until he gets tired without it. I like him to walk as normally as he can so I may do the cart-carrying thing for awhile and finish up walks that way.
