I certainly am one of the most loving of all dog owners. I have two dogs, both from the local Humane Society, your basic mutts. I pay more attention to them then just about anything in my house.
I pet them, play with them, talk, sing to, treat, and look after them as best I can. Yes, my dogs are happy dogs. When I come home, even from a short trip to the store, it’s a huge delight for them. Their tails wag like crazy and I get the warmest, happiest welcomes.
But here’s where I fail them.
I don’t walk them often enough. Most of us have careers, long work hours, duties at home, etc., sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day. I don’t think once or twice a week cuts it. I have to be more diligent and more responsible to THEM.
Today it was enough of excuses, I got out the leads and off we went. They sure were happy to go, and when we got back, both of them curled up for a snooze. I’m promising myself and my dogs, to get out there with them more often!!!!!
