Fitting in exercise is a challenge for just about everyone. Today I brought along my hiking companions. The house is currently undergoing some renovation thanks to a water disaster. The pups have been cordoned off to one part of the house and are a little stir crazy. A hike seemed like a good way to get us all out and on the trail. There’s a nature park not far from the house, tucked right off a main thoroughfare here in the Washington DC area. Some days it is quiet and I only see one or two other people out, usually bird watchers or nature photographers with their impressive cameras.
Our smallest dog doesn’t see well anymore–she’s 14 now–so I bring her along when hiking easy, broad trails. She loves sniffing around but doesn’t like to go off-road anymore.
We got 45 minutes of hiking in and now the pups are sleeping. Except the big one. He is pacing liking a caged tiger, probably wanting to stay outside where he can chase the geese.
