That is pretty cool! I saw a really cute fireman Halloween costume. Maybe next year you could dress him like a fireman! Also, super great that it doesn't take three hours of walking a day to calm him down. It would be hard to consistently dedicate 1/8 of each day to walking a dog.....no matter how much we love them life happens.

Thanks!

Jayda, actually we do do 3-4 hours of walking on each weekend day, and 2-3 hours a day on week days. He does get antsy without it. But it's nice to know that if I miss one day he won't die lol.

Wow, that is a good amount of walking and I bet there is a health benefit in there for you too. Funny thing is I really try to stay very active cycling, running, yoga, Pilates....love it all. I noticed this fall I was losing weight. I concluded it was from extra walking with the pups. I like to get in a 30-40 minute walk on weekdays and a longer walk of about 50 minutes on weekends. This is not nearly what you do but it sure has trimmed Lady down nicely and took a few extra pounds off me (which I don't need due to my other physical activity). I had a hip replacement a year ago December. I actually couldn't have walked a mile with the dogs at this time last year! I relish pain free walking and pain free activity. I would have gotten a pup sooner but I couldn't have managed it with a genetically bad bone structure in my hip.

I'm glad your hip is doing better

I've lost a lot of weight since I got Toby. I still have more to go but I am much healthier than I was. I owe it to him, for sure. It used to be a chore to walk him, but I love it now. Very relaxing and stress relieving.
