Jackson's typical week contains:

At least 1-2 visits to the dog park(s) per week.
He runs and gets all of his energy out, enjoys greeting every dog in the park and even though he's typically shy around strangers in other settings, at the dog park, he usually has no problem going up to people! He's totally in his element at the dog park.

At least a 30 minute walk every day (besides these past 5 days it's been pouring rain). I live in the "country" on 3 acres, no sidewalks, so I have to drive him 5 mins up the road to a neighborhood to get a good walk. 30-45 minutes usually right before dinner.

A game of fetch/tug nearly every night. It totally wears him out to fetch a toy for 10 minutes a night. I always try to play fetch before bedtime with him.

A visit over at my dad's house at least once a week, in their fenced in yard and with their two small dogs (and two cats!)

And lately, he's been getting a 4 mile or so walk every weekend. Sometimes more.

Oh, and a bully stick once or twice a week, duh!

Obviously, there's food, poop and sleep involved somewhere in there but that's the boring stuff!

What's your dog's typical week?

Ok, so Couver's typical week is pretty busy... He goes with me to pretty much everywhere but school.

-Couver gets 5-7 visits to the dog park/week (at least 2 hours each...).

-When I am gone at school, DH stops at home for lunch to take Couver on a nice walk.

-Several 10 minute walks/day (we live in an apartment, so I make sure he is out every couple hours)

-Several trips around the town- to the mall, the movies, to friends houses, to lunch... everywhere I go. He travels in my purse with his head out most of the time.

-A game of fetch everyday with his sock or squeaky. He loves fetch.

-A bully stick or some sort of treat weekly (he had scrambled eggs this morning :P)

So that is pretty much Couver's week... some weeks vary- example this week, we will be travelling to British Columbia and we will spend the weekend on a farm with three other dogs, five cats, three horses and plenty of new places for him to sniff. Couver can't wait!!
