I wasn't trying to disparage you or her. I apologize if it came across as such. I like your witty banter and was just commenting on that. As far as flying the coop, I was referring to her upcoming trip for a few months. I'm curious to see how that impacts your walks. Will you take longer walks? Shorter walks? More pictures if there isn't someone urging you onward?
I'm sorry that is has been hard for her to transition to the newer way of doing things. Yes, the world seems a lot more complex. Even in the last 10 years the world has gotten much more complicated. It's nice to find peace in the simple things, like taking a walk by a canal.
I wish you both the best and hope that your able to do exceedingly well by continuing to rely on each other and help each other. I can tell that you love her, so she's fortunate to have you. Thanks for letting us tag along on your walks. :)
