[NAGDU] Ui is obesity!

[Sharon S]

Hi, the reason my dad takes the dog out is because I have bad arthritis so can't walk very far. Dad does a couple of kilometres each time so walking with him will take the weight off quicker then the slow small walks I can do with him. 

We are allowed to do exercise outside during our lockdown but no more then two hours and you can't form a group with more than five people.

I still do other things around the house with my dog to keep our bond up and keep him amused. The last couple of days we have had my niece here during the day and she runs from one end of the house to the other and then back again. Sherlock happily chases my niece on these runs and she even tries to get far enough ahead so she can hide and see if he can find her. The one time she did that in my room Sherlock came to the door and since he couldn't se her he walked away where my niece was just on the other side of my bed which can't be seen from the door.

Well better go I really want to try catching up on my emails but it isn't an easy task.

This isn’t to be judgmental or anything, but why does your father have to take out your guide. Are you unable to walk the dog yourself?
