All Dogs Need Exercise
I went on an Alaskan cruise about a year and half ago and was thrilled to visit two sites where huskies are bred and trained for the Iditerod. Those dogs were beautiful and amazing. When it was time for them to get ready for a run, their enthusiasm was something I cannot even begin to describe (Oh, that I would that be thrilled about going for a run). However, as I heard their owner talk and as I have read, that is what they live for: running! So you certainly don’t need to worry about them getting exercise.
However, not all dogs are huskies; and those who do not love to run need to move. When the weather is nice, one of my favorite times of the day is when Lottie and I go for a walk. It is really good for both of us, and our journeys take us about two miles a day. For those of you who do not enjoy biking or walking with your dogs, another way to get them moving is playing with them with their dog toys. I swear that Lottie would run after her little Red Husker dog and bring it back to me a thousand times a day if I had the time and energy. So whatever way works for you, get your dog exercising. It will allow you to spend more precious time with your ‘best friend’.
