mister was slow and hobbling again so we did an abbreviated walk for saturday. we used to go so far, we used to go sometimes all the way to my house, 63rd, or even rainbow beach. it's probably true we went too far sometimes. it grieves me to think i might have worn him out too early. but we have had such fun, so many adventures. it's hard to say. joan has arthritis and says it's just so individual. 
well today since we did a short walk and i was sposed to walk daphne for the first time i went to the liberry and called to say i was on the way and i got there and she had been walked and so i will go back next saturday. i feel bad because we all wanted to get started but the timing was off. i did say i would be there after morning walk, and thought she would just go for a minimal expedient morning relief walk and then we would have a more leisurely one, so i feel bad, but i think i did right. i hope it works and for the common good, but maybe it's too complicated. i've been trying to get this thing right for years, but life is change, and it's going to keep changing, and eventually we may get it right sometimes along the way.
