179: He’s off again

The beans’ pup is off again.  This time he’s going to somewhere called ‘The Lakes’ but I don’t know whether that is a place where there are many lakes or a place owned by Mr & Mrs Lake.

Knowing him, I suspect it is the former.  For some reason, he is very keen on exercise - he walks (long distances) and runs …. every single day.

I try to offer a role model by lying in front of him half asleep (me, not him!). I’m   worried the obsession (madness?) will spread to my beans and they will insist on taking me for longer walks or, heaven forfend, expect me to start running.

Most of you will know that I see no point in running.

Why do humans do it?

To get fit, so they say.

Why do they want to be fit?

Sp;, they can run.

Rather a circular argument, isn’t it?
