Leo took Margaret out for her nightly constitutional this evening – or rather, Margaret took Leo out for her nightly constitutional, but the effect is the same. I went out to join them, and found them on the side of the house, engaging in highly stereotypical behavior. I mean, it was so stereotypical that even Margaret was aware of it, which is my explanation of this look she was giving Leo.
Anyway, she frolicked in the autumn leaves, as is expected.
She seems, though, intent on doing the job properly, rather than over the moon with excitement.
Some of the time, she was concentrating so hard on the task at hand that her tongue came out.
Anyway, she is now happy that she can cross this off her list of necessary childhood experiences.
I think that she was actually having fun, but the pressures of being photographed do, of course, weigh on one’s mind. She was not, however, so bowed down under the stress that she didn’t have time to note passing dogs.
Margaret is quite dedicated to cataloguing those members of the canine species that pass our house.
