 Happiest When Running  Thursday Morning Tug |  Loving Agility Practice Typist: Huxley It must be because I need the most fit dog time of all the Cascadian Nomads that I was chosen to write our post for the first Fit Dog Friday Blog Hop. Now all of us need or fit time, obviously. And we all love it too. But I tend to be the one Blood on the Tracks Boy who is always ready to go. Rain or shine, I want to run! Lucky, lucky me, I do get to run. A lot. And I want to keep it that way. I do agility twice a week with my nine-year-old friend Rose and sometimes with Bethany at our dog training school. Rose is my very special friend who can't have a dog right now so she gets to handle and care for me sometimes. I love her and her whole family. Oh, and I love agility. I went to my first class when I turned four months old! Hopefully I will be in my first trial this summer. |
I go for long walks (8 or more miles) with my whole family, do interval walking/running with Bethany and go running with Jason. Until I am 18 months old, we can't run too far, but I love the wind in my fur! I run figure 8's in Bethany's mom's big yard in the suburbs and around and around in my little city yard. There is even room for fetch in my yard! I am quite good at fetch... and tug. Tug can be played with people or other dogs so it is one of my very favorite ways to exercise.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a Ruffwear Palisade Backpack! I absolutely love my backpack. Even shorter walks make me just a little more tired when I have my backpack on. Plus I get to be useful which is all any old-fashioned collie could ever hope for. I am not carrying much in my backpack now because I am still growing but someday I will carry supplies on long hikes and backpacking trips. That is the kind of goal a dog like me has got to stay in shape and be fit for.
