What a wonderful dog!  Maggie, you and Albert must be quite the team! 
Klondike and I often have trouble completing our walks, too, because
everybody wants to pet him.  He never minds much.  I think he likes taking
the frequent breaks!

I have to get him in shape for the Puget Sound Dog Walkathon on October 3rd.
 Would any other Washington dogs want to participate?  It's to raise money
for the local Humane Society, and you can walk the one or the four mile
path.
