The Hill

Time was when Toby, my dog, and I would run this hill most mornings while at the cottage. At the bottom of it I would say to Toby : "Are you ready?". He understood and immediately started going faster. Usually he would run directly in front of me as if he didn't want me to pass him. As we got close to the top, he would start to slow down and I would sprint past him. Then when he caught up to me I would give him a treat. Now, when I run the hill by myself, I still say: Are you ready? but it's a lonelier trip.
