Oh how I can identify with todays Riddle-Ku. Two good walks each day (unless the weather is horrible), finds our adopted dog walking us. A friend/neighbor refers to the s‑t-r-e-t-c-h-e‑d portion of the walk as Brady (the dog) “shopping the classifieds.”
Hahaha. Yeah, even with a halter, our beagle pulls us along until he gets his initial burst of energy out.

I Always had dogs growing up this is so true
Glad we’re not the only ones being dragged along:>)

I’m terrible at some of these Laura, so funny. I thought the answer was a sock! But of course, it’s a leash. Thanks for all of these. I’ve enjoyed each one!
Oh, at first I thought, huuuuhhhhhh? And then I realized as a toy. Duh. I think people like me who have ill-trained dogs probably get the answer to this one more quickly:>)
