I'm not sure what effect it had on my weight...but now instead of just going for the morning workout, I have to come home and walk them. So I get exercise twice in a day!
We had to buy a house...though it was probably time for that anyway. But we made sure that it had a yard that was already fenced, and wood floors so we could more easily clean up messes.
In the house we had to make sure there was a place to store dog stuff-so the dogs have their own "bathroom" for all their food, treats, clothes, grooming supplies, etc.
We had to have a place for them to stay during the day that's their own, so we have a HUGE master bedroom with an 8x10 foot section that's their own, complete with xpen, contemporary carpet, and a big "gazing" window.
I now get up at 5 because they're hungry then, when I'd rather doze until 6:30 or 7 |
