We'll just get this out of the way right now. We do not have pics of our new member Hadley at this point. Hadley's owner was supposed to send us a photo or two and she has not come through yet with the pics. We know in our last post that a pic was promised, so we hope you can forgive us for the delay.
Now getting down to the business of the day. Our owner is training for a marathon and he has decided to bring us along for the training sessions. Running with our owner is bittersweet. What is sweet is that we get to get out and stretch our legs, get some great exercise, and let the neighborhood animals know that we still are the king and queen of the neighborhood (that includes other dogs, cats, squirrels, rabbits, birds, and any other unfamiliar creature that crosses our path). What is bitter is that one, our owner doesn't actually let us chase after these critters and two, sometimes the courses that he maps out are extremely long (over 10 miles is long to us).
However, when you look at the big picture, the training runs are great for us. The fact that we both have gained a few extra pounds over the winter is something that our vet brought up during our last visit and to get back to our tip-top spring and summer shape, we need to drop a few pounds. By the time our owner is ready for the marathon (May 1), photographers and onlookers will be quite impressed with our toned, athletic bodies (having our photograph taken is second nature at this point of our lives as we are very easy on the eyes (and camera lenses)).
Before signing off, we would like to recommend that if you have a dog, the warm spring weather is right around the corner, so get out and get some exercise with your pup! After a nice walk or run, you will feel better and your pup will feel better! Daily or frequent walks with your canine is about as good as it gets and both of you will benefit, so in the words of an unnamed goliath shoe company, "just do it."
