Another Way to Stay Fit? Walk your Dog!

You may know that we have an awesome dog named Moose! He's a mellow hound-shepard mix from the Durham animal shelter - named after a beer and a fire. He kept me sane during graduate school and has been with me longer than I've been with my husband :) We spent many a great hike in the Duke Forest, we've traveled cross country multiple times, we've been through a lot together.

I've been good recently about keeping myself in shape and making sure that A loved to exercise! However, I definitely feel guilty - Moose is not benefiting from my new exercise regime!  Since A was born, Moose has not received the attention he once got. He was booted out of the room, doesn't always get a daily walk (I know, I know I'm horrible!), and doesn't always get to go on trips to the park anymore :( I have been trying to make it up to him!

I am aiming to change that! I found the Purina® Pro Plan® Fitness Group Page website. They are currently having a challenge - it started on 9/30 and ends 11/13! It's a challenge to walk your dog every day for 30 days. It doesn't have to be a long walk - but get out there and walk ~ it'll be good for both you and your dog!
