        Well that sucks. The journey has been terrible. I have not enjoyed the last 41 years. Also, I’m 41.

    Not all those who wander are lost. Sometimes they just play dog roulette

      I do this too. :p

      The neighbors must think I’m insane.

      I try to count the steps and see if I can make it further than before. My record is like 140.

      It’s very mentally hard. I’m always thinking, “oh I’ve gotta be going down someone’s driveway now!”

    You may not end up where you meant to go, but you’ll end up somewhere interesting

    I’d say a dog would still go to predictable places eg. they’d go for a walk on their usual route (maybe a bit larger).

      I often let my dog choose where we’re walking and he takes it as an opportunity to update all the places he knows in town, so we end up walking a 5k loop, it’s just more chaotic than when I’m leading.

      I had a Husky. For me it would have been the random path of deer, rabbits, and random people’s driveways. He had no sense of direction, and cared not for walking norms.

      My dog would indeed go one of his usual routes, just whichever one he liked most at the moment.

      Then he got old and him leading the way would mean pissig over the neighbour’s hedge and going back to the couch.

      Now he’s not walking anymore. Well, maybe on clpuds.

      Psh, as I’ve grown older I am hoping the dog would just be a lazy dog and just suggest we lay down and take a nap

    While backpacking in Ireland, my friend and I visited the small island of Inish Oirr. We had all day to explore the island so set off without any route planned. A black dog tagged along and soon started guiding our way. He would loop back and stop to wait for us at turns. We followed him blindly through the maze of stone walls. He led us to a lake, a lighthouse, and a shipwreck. He always seemed excited to show us the next landmark. We literally followed a dog from morning until sunset. It felt as though he had done this many times before. He was such a good boy.

    The park. You’re going to the park. Everyday. If you live in a warm environment with a beach, that’s where you’re going. That park.
