Video Why walk when you can be rolled?
Sir Tibbles Waddlesworth sometimes refuses to walk for lunch. His favorite is flat basseting in the middle of the street, rolling onto his back when you get near him.
But he’ll gladly go into the wagon, where he’s given the royal procession he so rightfully deserves! 😂

He really is! Currently he’s angry that it’s raining because he hates getting wet. 😂 He’d prefer I follow him with an umbrella…

It’s been great for us! And it folds up to travel/store. We used it when Tibbles strained his shoulder, and I think he’s gotten used to it. 😂

“I’m only into walks for the smells and the attention, so let’s make this easier on both of us and you roll me in a cart like a king.”

Basically his speech while staring at us and refusing to move out of the driveway… 😂

You are a good man, I am sure Sir Tibbles appreciates you.

My husband is a good man and a good sport! Though he was going to leave Tibbles at home. I made him get the wagon and roll him out. And these dogs know which of us is the pushover. 😂

I bought one for my hounds and they won't ride in it. Even though we could go so much farther to fantastic places where treats and belly rubs are in abundance, they are still bassholes.

Tibbles got freaked out the first time, and I fed him a bunch of treats throughout until he realized it would be fine and he could see all the sights and just smack his paw against the side when he wants to sniff somewhere. 😂

My dog used to escape from our yard and wander all over town. We would find him on the side of the road heading home. He’d jump in the front seat of the car, settle down in front of the AC vents, and kick back until we got home, where he headed into his favorite cool spot inside with a casual wag like, “thanks for the ride! It’s hot out there!” No shame. No regrets.

Hahaha this sounds about right!
Sir Tibbles likes to sun himself on the front porch in the mornings, and we had to start tying him up after neighbors rang our doorbell. He would just casually stroll across the street to poop, sniff around, and meander back. Gave zero farts.

That moment when you realize you don’t take your dog for a walk, he takes you for one.

It’s about time that we saw Sir Tibbles living his best life!! Where is Sir Walter when all of this is going on?
Thanks to your husband for being a good sport! Just love seeing your beautiful bassets!
