Spring has finally sprung here in Melrose Park. The weekend has been just wonderful and I've had cabin fever for a few weeks now.
Before winter set in I usually walked up to 6 miles a day. Now that today was just great, Jack and I did our first outing. This will be a daily thing for him, at least 2 miles a day. I'll finish up my walks later at night to get my steps in.
He's almost 10 months old and I walked his little butt off!!!!!!!! :dogwalk: We did 3 miles in 1 1/2 hours. He had to sniff some things out and leave a peepee deposit a couple of times but I think he did pretty darn good.
Right now he is passed out on the couch!!:dogsm7:

Oh, and he's a really good 'moola' dog!!!!!!!!!!!! We were walking down the one street by us and he stops, turns around and he had a $20.00 bill in his mouth. It was just laying there on the sidewalk and he picks it up and gives it to his mommy!! I put it in his 'mad money' jar to save for a special toy.

How far do you guys walk your babies and how often?

:confused: Im lucky if I can walk around the block:D I hate to walk, I figure if I can drive why walk:D :D
I 'm kidding , well no I am not, but I know walking is great for you, but I'm so lazy and so busy that I really don't even have the time if I wanted to...

I must live in a poor area :( Scrappy has never found any money for his mommy :)

Our daily walk is a 1/2hr sprint around the block and we take what I call our "sniff and dawdle" walk a few times a week which is a walk to our local lake and a nice leisurely stroll around it. Sometimes we do a couple of laps if we meet up with other doggy friends. The walk around the lake normally takes an hour depending whether Scrappy stops off for a swim or not :fainted:

We love our walks :D

Me and LB's daily walks are just confined to our condo complex which is pretty big for a dog her size:dogwalk: With Kira we walk around the complex plus 2-3 blocks around the neighborhood. We take Kira to Dog Beach here in San Diego about 2 x's a month on a weekend. She loves it.

BTW, will you loan out Jack to me? I need a "moola" sniffing dog:D LOL:lol2:

no you have a great life and when you move to Tasmania on that acreage you will just have to buy a ball machine and get them to chase the balls :D

We started walking again and we go about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes when we go. I hope to get everyone in shape to go longer but I'm wore out by then too.
