I was encouraged today to take a walk. So I did, I took my regular walk around the neighborhood. The toughest decision for the day was to take one or two laps around the lake. I decided I really only had time for one before picking up my son from his class. I ended up being warmer than I thought I would be. I didn’t need the warm hat or the gloves I brought. The hat was on and off during the walk. It was a little windy but the sun was shining and that was amazing. That was about 2.25 miles of walking - not bad.
I got Lucas from his class, cleaned out my car and pulled it into the driveway. It was still sunny and I didn’t want to waste the sunshine. I thought I would take the dogs for a short walk. They are not great on leashes, well one is better than the other. Dakota (the light brown dog) is the leader of the pack and wants to smell everything. Tucker (the other dog) is slower and only tries to keep up. As we round the block, I see my older son drive past, he smiles and waves. His smile speaks to me, saying “good luck with that.” LOL We make it to the school, I make them take a break. They are not used to walking this much. We head back home, but Tucker is starting to lag behind. His very short legs are struggling to keep up. I decided to help him out and carry him. He appears to be very grateful for the break. Until we are going to pass some dogs. One of the dogs is easily 150 pounds - he could eat my dogs! My dogs have no fear they bark away. We finally pass each other giving the little head nod as we pass. We are in the home stretch… They will sleep well when we get home. They are knocked out by my side as I write this. It was a good day for a little walk.

I love that you added the pictures! With the time change and the nicer weather, it has definitely been a priority of mine to get out there. I need the fresh air and the movement. So do the dogs!

I love the last picture of them racked out! That is a sign of victory for the dog walker.
