That's great Lindsey! That is a lot of exercise though. Walking is good exercise, and you can take Layla.

I told him that I do try to walk my dog daily. I am usually gone between a half hour and an hour. He asked if it's brisk walking and I said it's more casual. Brisk for Layla though! He wants me to walk briskly for an hour so I'm out of breath. He said it would be better for my dog too. I didn't tell him my dog wouldn't be able to keep up lol!
Now that it's getting warmer outside I would love to go for more walks by the river since I live so close. I think I will convince Scott to go on some "brisk" walks with me

Just got home from about a 45 minute walk with Scott and Layla. It wasn't slow but it wasn't brisk. I wasn't out of breath but we kept our pace and didn't stop (except for when Layla had to pee lol)
Now we're going to eat some watermelon while Layla sleeps it off

This will be your excuse to get a doggie stroller. We use ours to take Rex & Rowdy walking with us because Gary's doctor says he needs to walk non-stop. He can't walk till he gets out of breath, due to his heart condition, but he is supposed to walk continuously and you just can't do that with two BOY dogs. (who want to pee on every bush) LOL!

So, we pop them in the stroller and off we go! It's GREAT!

Or...you can carry Layla when she gets too tired. This is like walking with weights!

You are right, Judy! I never thought of that - it's like carrying 4-5 lb. weights!

Max weighs at least 10 pounds. I won't be carrying him anywhere!

Lindsey - how is the exercise going? I guess with your Mom sick, it has gone by the wayside for now.

Lol at the last vet visit, Layla was 11 lbs I haven't done a whole lot of exercise lately, unless you count walking around the hospital! If I start getting to be earlier I think I will try going for walks before work in the mornings.
