LOL it's worse - I have permission to walk him, but had to stop when I developed this damned sore foot. I am supposed to continue to only do necessary walking until it stops hurting. But poor "Bear" - not his real name, but it suits him better than his real name - thinks I have deserted him.

And this morning I walked home the other way and there was the little yellow cat, Woody, waiting to be full-body petted.
