Keeping Up

The weather has been absolutely beautiful this last week...for once it's a challenge for me to stay inside rather than head out the door.

Most of our walks have been around the property, with gast at 3.50, it's painful to go anywhere that I don't absolutely have to. But that doesn't mean I'm not going places! Wednesday we had some time to spare between a meeting and our agility lesson, and tried to find a place to walk. We ended up finding the Alum Creek Dog Park, near Delaware, Ohio, instead. That place was fabulous, wooden fences with wiring , double gates, nice directive signs, and a great group of people.

We've visited the trail at the park that I've commented on before, someday I'd like to see how far we can go on there in a day or whatnot. That will take some planning though.

Today's walk/run was two-sided. We saw a baby calf, both dogs were very interested in the scent and the mother watched us as we passed (with a healthy distance between us-and a fence!). It's finally spring! On the down-side, we had to take the short path home. My older golden is having trouble keeping up and it's such a shock, I rememeber a few years ago when Luna couldn't keep up with him. I'm guessing it's a combination of the warmer weather, his new meds, and his growing age as he does seem to be worse off compared to a few weeks ago. I think we'll be doing more stretching out before hand and shorter paths for him before Luna and I go out for a more lengthy run. I'll be speaking with our vet and I suppose I will again have to look into nutrition and supplements for him.
