Dog Friendly Folks

I owe the start and continuation of my mirninf exercise to my dog. Not many dog friendly people on here that I've seen. I bike my dog 14 miles and her pace is 9.5 mph. Its not a lot, but still a burn. Plan on adding more dogs w walks. Bailey, 40 lbs blue heeler is my bud in life and I have problems leaving the house on a good day, but w the dog, I'm on the trail. Will change come snow.
My dog is my life fitness pal, never out of energy. Looking for others who incorporate dogs into exercise routine. She gives me motivation w that happy face every morning and that helps me out the door. I have much to lose, am on meds where I have to be realistic about the weight gain side effects, but 60 lbs or so have to go! I got my dog in shape, and she's getting me moving every day. My general outlook on life is a little something is better than a lot of nothing. I keep it basic.

My girl is my best friend and biggest motivator! She gets her minimum 3 miles a day plus sometimes we run together. This is a lot of quick bursts then me running in place while she smells stuff but we have fun. She's in great shape but is over 14 years old so I try to keep her active so she'll be with me for a long long time to come. She was with me for every pound of weight lost. Hiking is also great with a dog.

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.

ETA: Sorry the picture is so huge.

My boy, Ronan, keeps me getting outside every day.

Dog walking is my main form of cardio

Pathman1 · November 2016

I bring my dog to work whenever it's nice out and walk her during my lunch break. It's not a lot of exercise but sure beats sitting on my butt all day. Last weekend we went pheasant hunting which was 3 hours of walking through waist high grass so we both worked up a good sweat.

Here's a halloween picture of her.

I have two but they pile on the couch with me and encourage me to snuggle just a little longer!

Besides walking, Riley isn't a part of my exercise routine but she brings sooo much joy to every day, adding immensely to my mental/physical wellbeing and life balance.

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 little guy Tuffy takes me for a walk every day.

My walking/hiking buddy.

This is my dog, Dave.
Dave likes mud.
A lot.

Naruya8 · November 2016

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!

We've been without a dog just over a year, but will be getting a new pup on December 2nd. We've waited since we had some travels this year. I'll try to post a photo.

This is my Ziggy girl. almost 8 year old beagle mix. She is like most hounds and her nose is to the ground always. therefore, she doesn't make the best walking buddy. But she still gets me out at least twice a day for short walks.

This is my Jazi girl (Jazmin's her real name). We are taking care of her for a family member, but she's basically ours for the rest of her life. She's a 3 year old border collie greyhound mix, as best we can tell. If i liked to run, she would be PERFECT for that. We, my husband and I, take her to the off leash dog park throughout the week so that she can run and play. We do laps around the park with her. So, by the time we have done 4 laps, Jazi is pooped. LMAO

I think I need to stop reading this thread as its giving me puppy fever and I'm starting to rationalize a trip to the Humane Society

This place looks familiar! Acton High school?

Shan_Lindsay · November 2016

Yep! she definitely gets me out of the house for a walk, even on the coldest days.
