The Couple Who Walks Together...

It's been recently discovered that Bob and I have become lazy. We watch TV shows about how horribly unhealthy sedentary lives can be both physically and mentally while eating our junk food and drinking our soda talking about hikes we never actually take. It's sad really. In order to not become "those people" and in an attempt to spend time together, time outdoors and get our butts into better shape we have begun weekly walks. We generally head for the river bottoms where there are lots of people around enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors without it being overly crowded. There in between acting like silly little kids racing each other, "rescuing" snails from being squashed on the footpath, and showing off our cartwheeling skills we walk side by side, holding hands and just talking. I have really grown to love our little walks.

This week, due to our jealousy of the many people walking their dogs, we decided to mix it up a little by borrowing one of my parents dogs to go on the walk with us. Little did we know all the dogs would want to go as well as my sisters Rachel and Savannah. It was fun having my sisters along so they could have some bonding time with their new brother, and I enjoyed having dogs to walk. They dogs really loved getting out for once and behaved really well. They didn't bark at other dogs, and they followed where we told them to go. At one point it was even tempting to take them off their leashes, but with the river close by we didn't dare. Afterwards we took everyone home, and Bob and I got ice cream. It was a wonderful day!

I don't have pictures from the walk, although I know I should have taken some. Instead, here are pics of the dogs so you know who I'm talking about.

This is Akeela, my favorite!

This is Kieko, Koda, Bailey and Akeela. Bailey is no longer
with us unfortunately, but all the little monsters came along
for the walk
