Boy and Dog in Corn

Here is one additional photo taken Saturday when the Dude and I took Duke for a walk in the “corn field” – the University of Minnesota Ag Campus Research Field – or whatever it’s called. Can’t figure out how to link to a map from the U of MN site, but this Falcon Heights link is nice, just close the pop-up to reveal the fields, west of Fairview, between Larpenteur and Roselawn.

It’s not hard to tucker that dog out. Poor guy is quite big, dare I say obese? He gets tired out on most walks – though to his credit he didn’t try to lay down during this particular walk and we were out for 45 minutes! Compare to this morning's walk. We got up at 6:30, and went out into the field behind our house to do his business. Duke laid down twice during the 5 or 10 minutes wer were out! He assumes a very regal pose, front legs crossed, staring off into the distance – though I don’t know what he saw in the dark and fog. I had to work hard to get him on his feet and moving both times.
