The Art of Dog Walking

I have fallen off the wagon on my daily walks. So this morning I decided to take the dogs with me on my walk for some entertainment. I have learned some valuable lessons from this experience. Here they are in random order:

1. Walking more than one dog is darn near impossible. Any movie that I have seen that involves a dog walker walking more than two dogs, those extra dogs are just super-imposed onto the film. They just have to be!

2. Walking a dog burns more calories than if you were walking without a dog. Each additional dog you walk burns about 500 more calories. Between them pulling on you, getting tangled up with one another, and trying to drag them away from their sniffing spots, it's an incredible workout.

3. Dogs actually know what you are saying they just choose to ignore you when they are on a leash.

4. There is something magical about a clump of clover that just makes them stay there and sniff.

5. They tend to get territorial about territory that isn't theirs, especially when a strange dog is around.

6. The mysterious imaginary spot on the grass that you have to drag your dog away from is a force to be reckoned with.

7. I have found it easier to risk my life by walking in the middle of the street to keep them from sniffing and marking every two feet.

8. Dogs just love to walk....
