I know what you mean.....the ground is wet all over our neighborhood and Hootie and Hobbs HATE getting their feet wet, so they usually refuse to walk.

Hello all!
I walk our dog Jasper everyday and sometimes twice a day! As soon as I shower and go to put on my shoes he starts getting excited. When I get his lead off the hook by the door he does circles and then jumps up on the bed so I can but his harness on. He is so good on a lead and we walked even when the snow was knee deep here in Ohio. He would follow me and jump from each of my footprints. I love that he likes to go for walks at our local park. Since I have owned him he has helped me lose 44 pounds!
Hope you like the attached photos of one of our walks. He's my little walking buddy for sure. :0)
Take care all,
Shirley

I thought I had sent a picture of us walking. I am still trying to learn how to use my computer. Hope it comes up this time.

we have a fenced back yard on about 1/2 acre. i am a stay at home mom so the babies are always in the backyard playing when the weather is good

I take Conner for a walk every day (either before or after dinner). My sister (his day care) also takes him for walks three days a week. On weekends I sometimes take him for 2. He absolutely loves it!!! My sister also takes him to the beach to walk. I bought him a stroller when he was a baby because I thought my husband and I could go on walks and put him in the stroller. But he won't hear of it!!! He only uses the stroller when we go to outdoor malls or outdoor restaurants.

Zoe can walk for hours AND she goes running with me on weekends for about a mile.

Zoey's Momma · 05-08-2007, 07:12 AM

I take the furkids out to the park every day. I get my exercise, and they do too.

2dogs4me · 05-08-2007, 07:20 AM

I walk all three dogs as many days of the week as possible.
(They make me do it!!)

If it's nice when I get home from work - one of them stands on the landing and puts her nose on the leashes. ....I can take a hint.

It's fine when we're all heading in the same direction, but they can get me all tangled up when they see something that needs an immediate investigation!

Breny · 05-08-2007, 07:43 AM

We live in the country and for my birthday last year I asked for a huge fenced in area for my babies!

So they get all their exercise running in our yard. And they run.....lots!

lillyrican · 05-08-2007, 07:54 AM

Well, Monday-Sunday in the morning, and in the afternoon when I get home from work, and then we just go in the backyard right before night-night.

Lexi Rae · 05-08-2007, 08:24 AM

everyday except if it raining, she wont go out.. otherwise at least
2 times a day.. once before i go to work, once when i get home.
weekends more than that. now that summer is coming, she will get the
run of the beaches everynight

we dont go for walks.. i have 2 xpens hooked together in the yard till we get a fence put up...they are in there every day " when it isnt raining" and they play hard in there..i take them out 1 by 1 on a leash and walk/run around the yard with them lol i bet thats a site, but they enjoy it, till i had enough then its back in the xpens while we do our thing out there.
we are usually out there alot when i dont have errands to do. the kids love it in the yard and so do the furbabies

they get plenty of excersise, and so do we lol

lapi's yorkies · 05-08-2007, 10:22 AM

Twice a day on weekdays and lots on weekends. We live in South florida so the weather is nice all the time, except for the rainy afternoons. All three of my babies love to go on walks. They go crazy when they see me get the leashes

Oh I am impressed!!! Congratulations on losing 44 pounds, that's wonderful!!!
But I still can't see walking Winston in a foot or more of snow, especially the really soft kind...he can't even touch the ground, it's like he's swimming in it, and not going anywhere, it is really hilarious. When the snow is harder, he just walks on top of it, that works pretty good, it looks like he doesn't even pick up his feet...he's skating!!!

kitty · 05-08-2007, 07:52 PM

I don't take Kitty and Alexis for scheduled walks. We walk more in the spring/summer/and fall than in the winter when we never go. They get loads of exercise around the house with the other dogs and kids to run with them. We also throw the tennis ball in the back yard every day for a good hour. (sometimes more.) The kids also throw the tiny tennis balls in the house several times a day (even though we aren't suppose to throw balls in the house).
