So Few Left

There used to be a larger company of dogs on the morning walks. Orange moved away from us last spring. Mommy passed away in December. My daughter Gerstuhl also moved away in December. Peanut has arrived, but when three do not come along anymore, while one is added, we are still fewer than before.

This morning, Morran skipped the morning walk. She has been known to do this from time to time. Daniel wants her to come, but she is not as fond of it as us Shibas. Paula often says Morran can stay at home. When Morran did not come, it was just me, Javier, and Peanut, except Daniel. We have not been so few on a morning walk for many years, Daniel said.

The morning walk was nice, nevertheless. I do feel a little sorry for Morran, when she tags along, because she does not find our pace as comfortable as we do. We did not have to worry for her today. We will see what will happen further on.
