Kramer loves being IN the house, or probably more correcty he likes being WITH us. When we go out we take him downstairs - yes, carry him for he won't go himself - lock him in downstairs where he has water, and a few biscuits.
He hates this. He watches as we get dressed and then hides. I've spent ages looking for him on occasions. Usually he finds a better hiding spot when I'm in a hurry. I've been on occasions so running late and so frustrated that I can't find him that I leave him - especially if I am only going for less than a couple of hours. He doesn't mess in the house - just finds a more comfy spot to sleep.
He loves coming in the car, so the other day I had some letters to post so I showed him the dog lead and he enthusiastically followed me to the front door, and I carried him to the car.
I'd decided to take a walk along the Wynnum waterfront, and thought he'd like the experience. WRONG.
You'd think he'd forgotten how to walk. He just refused to budge. The only way I could get him to move was when someone came walking past and he'd follow them for a very short distance before stopping. And again refusing to walk.
He just sits and casually looks around. He felt the sea breeze blow his long floppy ears around, and he sniffed the air. He made friends with people along the way - but still only walked when HE wanted to walk. I carried him often.
He can be such a pain.

It sounds like Kramer has you trained! My problem with Snickers is that she tries to go further than she should. For a three legged dog, it is just amazing to watch her. She is so excited to get out and walk, that she leaps into the air and almost does flips. By the time we've done two miles, she is out of breath but still doesn't want to stop. I think I will need to get a baby pouch to carry her in, if she'll let me!

Kramer certainly does have us trained! But we still love him.
