Walk the dog

We went about 4 miles, sort of uphill. It’s cool and cloudy this morning.

Dog Days

Yesterday and today Hattie and I walked a little over 2 miles. Hattie was a real pain today, grabbing the leash and tugging at it all the time. She usually resists the temptation unless she is really excited. I’ve got to buy a small rope tugger I can carry with me. Maybe I can train her to take out the excitement/frustration on the toy instead of her leash (and my fingers when they get in the way).

About 2 miles. Both Hattie and I are sneezing and coughing today so either we share allergies or a cold. A little weird either way if you ask me.

2.3 miles according to Google. Not really as far as I should take Hattie but it’s going to be a hot day and she really tires out quickly in the heat.

Walking the dog 9/10/08

I’ve walked the dog almost everyday since I last posted – I took one day off when we were getting ready for a bbq – but I keep forgetting to post the mileage. The idea was that I would motivate myself by having a record of miles walked but that doesn’t really seem to be working out. I may give it a try again, however. Being unemployed leaves me with a lack of schedule that I don’t deal with very well, I tend to dither and waste time instead of doing anything constructive so a regular posting may be good for me. At least I’ll keep my typing speed up.

On Wednesday Hattie and I walked about three miles according to Google’s beta (or is adding “beta” to a product at The Google redundant?) “walking directions”. It’s probably been there and I didn’t notice it before but you can ask for walking versus driving directions and then put in multiple destinations. The result is the number of miles we walked in a loop starting and stopping at home.

How far did I walk the dog today?

About 2 miles. My hyper-reactive 10 month old dog paid better attention to me than usual. Having some cheese instead of just kibble probably helped her focus. We stopped at several points with lots of distractions for her (golfers, pedestrians and cars) and I rewarded her everytime she remembered to look at me. Ain’t much but it’s a start.

I wish there was a way to figure miles with Google map if you are taking a long walk…not going from point a to b in a direct way. Anyway, Hattie and I walked about 2.7 miles this morning.
