He can't take the pavement for long stretches.
He needs to walk on the grass.
Otherwise, the pads will crack.
They're like defective pads really.

He doesn't seem to respond to it.
I think he's a little anxious.
His last walk was kind of short.
So i'll take him outside, Let him finish his business, He'll sleep better, and so will i frankly.
Well, that's very nice of you.
Hey.
Come on.
It's what i do.
Come on, furry murray.
Come on, f.
Murray abraham.
How do you like that? I know.
He rolled over.
Our little murray.
Well, the only thing is I'm very happy for him.
I would've liked to have been there.
I know.
His first rollover.
He'll do it again.
I know.
You invest so much in a dog, And you miss the first one.
I know.
Yeah.
We did.
We missed it.
I think he likes nat better than he likes us.
He does not.
I think he does.
He does not.
He's our dog.
We raised him.
Now he don't even like us.
Maybe you and i don't deserve to have a dog.
You're saying we're unfit dog-Havers? Nat doesn't have a dog.
He's 10 times the dog-Haver we are.
What? I think just for the sake of the family, Maybe it's better off if we get rid of nat.
Nat is not the problem.
We have to make some adjustments.
How do people do this? They don't have pets.
Who? Whoever you're talking about.
[Doorbell buzzing.]
Boy, they're back already.
See that? He even goes quicker for nat.
If it upsets you, we'll let him go.
Thank you.
I think we should.
Murray should be our responsibility.
