Since I have been sick and we have not had our weekend woods walks they have been tearing up toys and playing in family room next to me on couch. Two Newfs bouncing off couch, each other, almost knocking printer off desk and barely missing TV is NOT a good thing. Finally they are back to evening walks with Dad but never really tired or less bored. Hopefully we will have a weekend woods walk. Good for all of us 😉

We sometimes do a walk/jog thing to and he gets into that because he never knows when I’m going to pick up the pace!

I so agree with exercise helping both you and your dog via your bodies and minds. I have found that walking with my dogs also clears my head and relieves stress and frustration. I think that’s why I have been so antsy lately. Between being sick with the flu and the sub-zero temperatures, neither me or my dogs have had the chance to be outside. Today’s high? -6 with a windchill between -20 to -30. Ugh! It was like this last weekend too.
Pray for heat Pamela! I am going crazy!

On another note, I am very much looking forward to your posts related to your Blog the Change challenge. Great idea. Wish I had thought of it. 🙂

Many ideas for posts begin on one of our walks, also story plot lines, characters, you name it. My problem is remembering them all when we get back. 🙂

I installed a voice recording app for my phone, which reminds me I have to go in and write them down.

It’s definitely odd when you are listening to music to have a recording of yourself come on.

Saturday Giz and I were on a lovely trail at one of the highest points in the state, enjoying the unusual, a panoramic view, when from down the trail I hear someone chatting away about nothing important (an d i say this because i could hear every word she was saying quite clearly)…talk about spoiling the mood…why on earth go out in nature only to blather on a cell phone?

and yes, after checking email and a cup of coffee we go walking … when we get home i’m awake, alert and ready to start writing…it’s an energizing way to begin the day

My wife wants a dog, but I am still unsure. I have had dogs most of my life, but being on the move makes having one kind of challenging. That and affording pet sitting while away. However, I will say that having a dog is a lot of fun and your blog brings back some of the memories of having a dog. Thanks for sharing.

In my quest to daily walk Justus, I need inline skate ala Cesar Milan – he then can run his heart out w/o me tripping behind him.
Excellent post and I’m sure there’s some data backing you up somewhere!

We don’t go for walks. I spend a couple of hours a day in the backyard with chickens and ducks. The dogs fight with the ducks, then tussle with each other. So it’s not walks, but they get outside several times a day and get plenty of exercise.

If it weren’t for them, I’d probably never leave my desk! When we’re out on a walk, they seem so happy and engaged, tails wagging, sniffing, eager. There is no doubt that it’s good for their body and mind. One thing you mention is something I’m kind of bad at–variety. I usually take the same route. We don’t have many good places to walk so it isn’t easy to mix it up, but you have challenged me to make an effort.
