A bit more walking

We went for a drive on Sunday afternoon - with Kramer of course. We stopped and bought some icecreams on the esplanade, before driving to watch the boats coming into harbour in the late afternoon.

Kramer had his lead on and reluctantly got out of the car and followed me for a while. As usual we are the butt of jokes as we try and entice the little fellow to walk. In the end he did walk quite a long distance (for him), and he got quite a spring in his step. But we had to carry himback.

While there we noticed a big boat at the Manly Jetty, so we drove around there to have a look. It was a private boat, seemingly run by a couple of seniors, who were tied up at the jetty. Certainly the folk must have a big bank balance as the fuel alone would create a hefty hole in the account!

The Port of Brisbane security officer turned up, and asked them to leave the jetty. There is a rule that permits boats to tie up at the jetty for only one hour. And they had already been there for an hour. So we watch them leave.

There were some girls fishing on the jetty and they asked if they could pat Kramer. We could have left him there - they cuddled and patted him and he just "melted" into their arms. There was a little girl - about one - and she too cuddled Kramer. He is so good with little children and anyone who makes a fuss of him.

He did walk a little way along the jetty too. But we did have to carry him a bit. Lazy dog.
