[nagdu] Amount of walking

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Joy,

If it weren't for Mitzi, I would be physically fused to my computer.  I am a
bad, bad girl!  /grin/

Walking with my guide dog is also way more fun than walking with my cane,
and I get better overall exercise by being able to just stretch out and
walk.  We're starting to do a little jogging together, with her in harness.
It's not a regular thing yet, but I've been surprised by how well our short
little trots go.  I'm usually with our little buddy or her older cousin, our
medium buddy, and they get a kick out of making fun of my little old lady
jog.  /lol/  They're encouraging at the same time, so it's fun teasing.

Well, Tami, I suspect you are a bit like me and need a dog or some other
living creature to keep me on the straight and narrow--like walking and
getting some of that pent up energy out.

Joy,

Mitzi still turns into a royal snot monster when she doesn't get out enough,
so she keeps me motivated.  I can get away with bieng lazy for a day or two
now, but then I pay for it.  /grin/

Oh Tracy,

I think that I'm going to be discovering a different level of walking needed
for my new partner when we are matched so that one to two miles that I
usually walk might not cut any more. I know that Belle would insist that we
get out and walk and it was always better for both of us. It is true that as
the dog puts on a few years their need for long walks on a daily basis
lessens but the need a regular walking of some kind definitely continues. It
does for us as well.
