Do u take Rover?

I do I have two dogs (1 1/2 yrs ans 10 1/2 yrs)...I take the puppy around my subdivision once before stopping to get the 'old man' overwise the pup drags the other one...both are boxer mixes....It is good for me and them and if my son is home he comes too. It is very nice and my dogs are much happier for it....Sometimes they even moviate me to go when I wasn't going too....There start whining to go after they eat.

LOL, that's not what she was expecting

I take my dog, Lexy for walks with me. She is a red-bone hound, and loves to stretch her legs! I like to walk at least 3 miles around my neighborhood, but she usually can only take 2. When I first started taking her she was a little rambungious, but she does really awesome now, she even know what side of me to walk on. We have never taken her for any training, so it makes me feel even better. There was one day that I was going to go without her, but then she saw me put on my shoes and she knew, she headed straight for the door. I felt guilty so I had to bring her!

Good luck to you and your Sasha walking days!!

I have a collie/beagle mix, Maggie. I don't take her cause she is so slow. She is only 5 yrs. but you'd think she was 12 ! Plus she has to stop and sniff everything. I take her separate from my serious walking routine.

That is sooo our dog, she sees us putting our shoes on and she thinks she is going for a walk!!

Yup mine go with me..I have 3 boxers and the boys go first with them we walk 2.1 miles or walk/ run. Then I pick up my old girl and we do another mile together. With all of my dogs I have to do 3 miles a day. We go first thing in the morning or the youngest gets into trouble. No matter how tired I am they make sure we go. They are my...Enforcers....LOL

I have a 12 year old Lhasa, a 5 year old Shih tzu, and a 14 year old "Yorkshire Terror." We walk about 40 minutes every day. If it is very warm out, the Lhasa and the Shih tzu will head for the nearest shady spot and go "on strike," while the Yorkie, the OLDEST of the 3 will stand around and look annoyed as he is ready to keep going!!

One day, I had all three of them with me, and the Shih tzu just decided-"Enough"--and refused to move. I was on a narrow timeframe, as I was meeting someone for dinner. I didn't have time to stand around for 10 minutes until he felt like moving, so I picked him up.
As I crossed in front of a car waiting to pull out of the driveway, those inside were laughing at the sight of me carrying almost 20 lbs. of black Shih tzu with the other two trailing behind. They laughed even harder when I told them that I was carrying the YOUNGEST of the three!!:noway: :noway: :laugh: :laugh:

My dogs are part of my fitness routine...they get walked 7 days/week...all 3 of them get their own walk time, so 3 separate walks of 20-25 minutes each which means in addition to my 45 minute workout, I'm getting a 60-75 minute walk each day as well (and the dog walk generally burns 425-500 calories)

LOL, that's not what she was expecting

No it wasn't.. And my husband is mean. :-)

Take the dog, leave the husband home.

I have small dog, too (japanese chin). She can walk for a good 2 miles or so and she's a fast walker for being so little (10 lbs) unless it is hot, then she can't go so far. Then I just end up carrying her, which is a good reminder why I want to lose weight!
