    Absolutely. Without my doggy, I would never walk. Since I am his pet, he is the boss and when he wants to go for a walk, we walk. Which is around ten times a day. :D
    Awesome. Last year no Bailey,in bike rides. It's great to be able to have their motivation. You have a great owner lol

    I walk daily with both of my dogs. I have a 54 pound collie mix and a 12 pound miniature pincher. I started out walking the collie a little over a year ago. Walking is still my main exercise.
    I have a border collie shepard mix overweight at 90 who looks very similar yo yours.
    Picposting, its a baffling mystery, or id include it

    this is my little turkey, Indy! she runs circles around me and is always down for a good snuggle afterwards, so that's always a good reward for getting outside

    My wife and I adopted a mother/son combo, I can only walk them late at night when no one else is around because they were never socialized properly and go nuts when they see another dog. In the house with us, they are perfect.

    My main squeeze bailey, and sister were never socialized either. I've had them as year now and Bailey is good out of the neighborhood, but the city was gonna put them down due to the severe feral like nature of the dogs. Bailey comes everywhere now. Therapy sessions, no problems.

    I love seeing all these well-loved, furry exercise buddies, especially the rescues! I've got a pack of 5: A greyhound, 3 Italian greyhounds (one not in my picture, as we just got him a month, ago, a senior stray), and a vizsla mix. Lots of walking, my main exercise, and I'm maintaining a 27 lb loss on here.

    He's not part of my fitness routine yet as he's only 10 weeks old, but he'll surely make a great running buddy when he's old enough. I can't wait to take him for long walks, running, hiking, biking and maybe get him into doing Agility. For the time being he's just a great snuggle buddy that loves playtime!

    Hey,
    My best bud is Tilly - She does encourage me to get out of the house though (deprescion)

    I know that feel. Sometimes it's just looking at them that makes you shake out of it and think, Yeah, we should do something you lil goofball

    I have a two-year-old female Japanese Spitz who is also very active and never runs out of energy. Going for a run early in the morning is always a good idea, especially for her. ;)

    This is Foxy, my border collie/australian shepherd cross.
    She's six years old and fed up of me taking her on walks! She's now learned a technique where she lays down and refuses to move until we turn around :D
    She gets walked six times a day, so I guess I can't blame her...

    Hi guys... I'm new to MFP but am sooo glad I have seen this thread!! I am a proud pug momma to Bruce and Betty. They are my world and I blame them for getting fat!!! I don't want to leave them so my exercise has reduced and have put on about a stone since having them!! They are worth it

    As a country boy the concept of "walking the dog" seems a little strange. ;) My furry buddy has her own door and is free to walk herself at any time but she does stay within fifty feet or so of me when I venture about the property and I often take her along when visiting dog friendly locations.

    Sassy the pup.

    This is a pic of Nugget being her goofy dog self. She's my service dog and has been a game changer if not life saver!

    You guys are so lucky! I'm scared of most dogs. I can't help it. I'm currently a university student living in no pets accommodation but when I have my own place I want to adopt several cats and a small, relaxed, senior dog. Senior dogs (and senior cats!) often get overlooked in shelters in favour of puppies and I think it's so sad that these oldies have to live out their retirement years in a cage surrounded by loud barking. A senior probably won't be up for lots of hiking and running, but a good walk every day will make a world of difference to me. I don't go out enough and never exercise.
    Good luck to you all!

    my hiking/"hunting" partner. also, add "puppy dodge" to any at home move for more challenge. "puppy dodge push ups" "puppy dodge burpees". she loves knoking me over in the P90X Yogas as well.
