Walking the Dog

Every morning when I get up..usually around 5:30am…the dog is a bit frisky (and helps to wake me up, actually).  While I was staying at a friends, I played chuck-it with the dog until she pretty much stopped playing.  Only took about 30-40 minutes.  Now that I’ve relocated back to my real house…  Chuck-it’s not going to happen as my yard doesn’t support such a toss.

Instead, I head out for a walk.  I was guessing it was like 5 miles or so of a walk.  I was wrong.  I used Google Map Pedometer to calculate the actual distance in miles.  3.6 miles total.  I’d walk faster, but apparently all this new found walking wasn’t good for the feets.  I have two cuts on my toes on my right foot so it makes it hurt to walk 🙁

I’ll get that resolved and probably go buy some new walking shoes since my old ones are most likely worn out.

The dog likes the walk, and she comes home…eats..drinks, then goes to sleep in the sun.  Good dog!  These aren’t nearly as long as my walks were in Germany, but, I do have to get to work in the mornings.  Maybe I’ll add in a evening version, too.

    loved the photos and reading about the trip. Stained glass and old castles are some of my favs – cool trip!

    Walks are good for you, and good for your dog

    It mellows the dog out for the day, that’s for sure.
