Guess I am getting my exercise these days!

This evening while I was out walking Isaac, a man was driving by and he stopped his car (I live on a little tiny street with almost no traffic and you can stop in the middle of the road and talk to someone) and said "That dog sure gets you  your exercise!"  I said "He sure does!"  The guy asked "What is it, three times a day?"  I said "Oh, we do three or four good walks a day."  He said "I see you out here walking him all the time."

So I guess I can stop saying I never exercise now, right?

Cute story as soon as I get some strength back I plan on walking with my dog. Walking without the dog right now is just safer for me ( shepherd pup) she will love it and I will too.

Thanks

I dunno how far.  I walk Isaac for anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes, three or four times a day, most days (less if it rains all day).  So that's anywhere from an hour to three hours of walking a day.  We usually don't walk that fast, though.  Isaac stops to sniff stuff and pee  lot.  Those are his hobbies.  I would guess I might do two miles in an hour?  So that would be anywhere from two to six miles a day.

Great that you got a compliment and this guy noticed you but who was he and how did he know that you walk your dog three times a day? Stay safe.

I live in a very small town on a very small deadend street.  He lives at the end of the street.  I live in the middle.  I walk my dog past his house all the time.

Both of you get that much needed outing. It makes me feel like a good dog owner to give the, what they need and I need it too!  I have had you in my prayers hoping for good biopsy results!!  Allison
