    My dog won't walk more than 1/2 mile. She'll lay down and refuses to go anymore until I turn back towards home. She's the worst dog for exercising. She will however lay directly on my butt until I get out of bed to feed her, so she's good for something. Or good for nothing. But I love her anyway!

    oh no, such a bad idea :(

    If anyone's going to do this, at least get a lazy breed that's not made for real work and relying on energy you hope you'll magic up in the future based on guilt. Stay away from terriers, for one thing.

    No this is just a terrible idea all around.

    Y so srs. Pretty sure he's just saying that getting a dog has led to him being more active because dogs love to be walked.
    been to a shelter recently? that's why.

    Why yes, yes I have.

    then you'll know that the world is full of idiots who will read that post and take it as what he said, not what you think he meant. and the shelters are full of their victims.

    So many idiots. So many people have big ideas about what great owners they'll be, and in reality, end up letting their pooches stay inside all day and just let them out for five minutes to crap in their reeking yard.

    It's like saying, "have a baby, it'll fix your marriage". Dumb and bad idea.

    Get a dog if you want a dog, and have the time to devote to caring for it properly. Getting a dog just to motivate you to exercise is a recipe for disaster. I'd love a dog, but then I remember they poop and I don't like wearing shoes in the backyard.

    I stepped on a bee once & got stung because I wasn't wearing any shoes, as I ran across the lawn; to go check my mailbox.

    Borrow My Doggy is a great site for those that are not in a position to have a dog of their own but love being around dogs. I've been walking Monty since April and not only is he good for the soul, we also do some pretty mega hill walks which he loves (as soon as he sees me he gets very excited!!)
