I know I don't walk my dogs every day like I should. Sometimes the excuse is bad weather, sometimes it's being tired after or before work, sometimes it's time constraints, sometimes it's pure laziness.

Our furry besties need exercise too, and I'm starting a self-challenge to take a brisk 30 minute walk with my dogs every day, rain or snow or shine.

If you have pups and you'd like to join the challenge, star this post and log in every day to update your minutes walked with your four-legged friend. Your dog and your body will be grateful!

    I walk Dora ever time I go for a walk she goes with me. When I put my shoes on she's at my side ready to go.

    Have you guys heard about the 'Walk for a Dog' app by WoofTrax?

    It's a fundraising/tracking app, and every mile you walk (with or without your dog, but theoretically with :smile:) earns money for the shelter/rescue of your choice. So my dog and I walk for the rescue organization we got him from. We used to use Charity Miles to walk for the ASPCA, but I like Walk for a Dog because our efforts are helping a organization that is particularly close to our hearts. They've posted about it on FB, so I know they've actually gotten checks.

    Please check it out! I'm not affiliated with the app, I just love animals.

    I use Charity Miles, but find the app often crashes on my phone, defeating the purpose, so definitely going to check this one out!

    My pup and I walk 2-4 miles daily, more on weekends. It's my favorite time of the day <3
