It's been a long walk.

It's my mothers birthday today, so we're going to Stadskanaal this afternoon and evening.
That means Spike will have to spend a long time alone at home.
To make things a bit easier for him, we both made a long walk around noon. That way he'll be deep asleep for a long time.
The plan is working already, he has chosen the couch as his bed even before we left.
