Whether you've been walking your dog forever, or have been wanting to, this is your opportunity to join!

My name is Jill and I have a Golden Retriever named Roxie. She is my loyal walking buddy who never turns me down and gets me out of bed in the morning. Tell us about yourself and your dog(s).

    I have 2 dogs.....one is a rescue (besenjii mix) and the other is a black lab puppy. It's too hot to walk them in my area right now. I am so looking forward to it cooling down to take them out. They definitely keep me moving. :)

    They sound like great dogs! I walk my dog in the morning and in the evening when it's cooler. :)
    It's been a hot summer in Michigan.

    We have a 19 1/2 year old chihuahua( Gizzy) who up until 4 yrs ago would walk 5 miles and look for more. We have a 10 yr old Siberian husky ( Timber) who didn't want to be a lead sled dog. So we picked him when he was 2 1/2 yrs old. He loves the indoors and is a true beauty to look at. Timber loves our 1 1/2 yr old cat. When thunder booms they lay next to each other and shake in fear. Kind of funny to watch, but not funny that they are stressed from it. Once school is back in session timber and I will be hitting the trails in the morning ( we have had an issue with an aggressive female dog and the teenager lets it out.so waiting for school to start). That's us.

    I love that Timber and your cat are buddies! Does Gizzy get along with the cat? My dog is fascinated with a black cat in our neighborhood. They just stop and stare at eachother.

    I go walking 1-2 miles most every night with these two... although, the short legged blond one makes me carry her sometimes. LOL

    I think the reason they love going with me so much is because I carry a container of ice water for them to drink (it's been pretty hot lately) It's all about the water, not about time with me at all! B)

    The larger floppy eared dog is a rescue we got after Thanksgiving, if 6:30pm rolls around and we're not already out walking she goes insane. If it's raining out, she keeps us up all night full of energy - she is now about 15 months old and still has all her puppy craziness going on!

    The other one is 5.5 years old now, she sits there with us and watches the other dog run around like crazy.

    Your dogs are so adorable! I like how you carry one when she gets tired!!

    I take my pitbull named Ruger for a good long walk almost every night. He's almost 2 now and just starting to settle into a fantastic dog. He is working very hard at changing my neighbors mind from the evil dog stereotype he came with as a puppy. He loves my children and tolerates my cats.

    He sounds like a great dog!

    I've got two dogs, a 6 y/o Bichon and just over a year old Wooly Siberian Husky. Both love to go on walks. Usually take them for about 40-60 minutes depending on the weather.

    That's awesome! Are they good walking together with you? I watch our neighbor's dog once in a while, and it's hard to walk 2 dogs at once, without getting tangled.

    I love Frenchies! I would love to get one but they don't wind up in too many rescues and I currently have four dogs anyways. Three terriers mixes and a black lab.

    I love your fur babies!! How did you get them to sit still for so long?
