Okay so the reason WHY I decided to get my first doxhoont was to help me establish a healthy exercise routine of walkies in the park. I figured I would either get the exercise walking OR from bending and stretching to clean up after her in the house. Annabel was the best little walking partner and it worked like a charm.

Lately, I’ve fallen waaaaay off the wagon. Since last week I’ve had the company of Sweet Miss Vivan for morning walks and have been pretty motivated to get back in the swing of things. This morning we got up extra early and I decided to take only Annabel for the walk. She is a good walker and has the most stamina of the three (it was going to be a two mile walk.)

Harnessed up, the boys followed us out of the house. Rather than take a moment to put them back in, I noticed that Uncle Bob was nearly over here for morning doggie play so I decided it would be o.k. to leave them out in the yard (fully fenced I should add.)

HAA HAA HAAAA! We weren’t more than 100 yards from the gate when Freddie galloped up to us. I turned around and Brownie was hot on his heels. I tucked a boy under each arm and walked them back telling Sweet Miss Vivian to continue on with Annabel. HAA HAA HAAAAAA! Annabel was not to have it either and sat on the pavement refusing to move an inch. Vivian walked Annabel back to me and I sent her off without me. She did 3 laps of the Parade Ground (nearly 6 miles) and I sat on my fat butt. Of course Brownie disappeared so I had to go find him, then Freddie chose to hide on me too. I did end up getting my exercise but NOT in the way I intended.

Once Freddie is a bit older I am going to have to learn how to walk 3 doxhoonts at the same time. Wish me luck!

Dinner special brings choice of wonton soup or eggroll.

Why mommy doesn’t like to take me for MORNING walks …. I’m not a morning doggie boy!
