Parks and the countryside bored Timothy. He was not bothered with walking along a canal or around a lake. He would, but only as a favour to us. When I’d take him on the bus to Ruislip Lido, he enjoyed the bus ride WAY more than the walk around the lake.
Once he even tried to get back on the bus as we passed it: we were not on the way home, only walking past a bus which was waiting at a bus stop: the door was open, so he got on!
He MUCH preferred city walks in busy placed – the smells there must be much more interesting. Station concourses like Kings Cross, I’m positive, were his favourite places. He loved going on trains – he’d get to look out of the window AND stay with me for hours at a time – but even walking through a busy station, he’d enjoy that.
With his orange hi-viz harness on, and sniffing at bags and trolleys, people must have thought that he was working as a drugs sniffer dog. no: just being nosey.
