Quick Dog Story or two...

So I get my workouts in when ever I can now a days.  Last Wed. I knew hubs had to head to campus for some extra work and I was already up to feed the little guy at 4:30 am and new he'd just keep me up grunting the last few hours before sunrise like he enjoys doing every morning so I decided to head to the gym.  After the gym I came home and took my dog for a 2 mile jog.  It was so early that she wasn't creating all her normal ruckus because all the usual suspects (aka "killer" "mr. mcgoo" and her other dog friends) were asleep in their homes.  I thought this will be an easy run for once!

Nope!  At the turn around I saw her limping so I thought I better get that goat head (sticker) out of her paw.  As I kneeled down to get it I noticed it was already gone but she decided it'd be a good idea to knock me to the ground and proceed to have a lick fest on my face in the middle of the road, way too early in the morning!  I quickly got up and recovered and started running.  Well she then decided to pull on the running leash that has about 8 feet of bungee give to it.  And I wear it kind of lose around my waste so she thought I was playing tug of war with her and ran circles around me tugging on the leash.  It took about 3 tries of stop and go and yelling at her to sit before she gave up on the tug of war!  Needless to say this run was  a little slower than the others.  Poor thing has been feeling neglected since A came along but I promise I run or walk her practically every single day.  She does need a bath and an ear cleaning though!  :-( 

On another doggy note I have managed to successfully go for a walk with both the dog and the baby in the stroller without my dog going absolutely nuts or knocking the stroller or myself over.  If I combine the waist part of my running leash with the regular leash so it doesn't have any give, she has to walk right next to us and my waist is a lot stronger than my arm so she can't pull us to one side try as much as she does when she goes by one of her doggy friends' houses!  I might even try jogging with both of them soon!!  That would be awesome instead of having to take multiple walks a day on top of trying to fit in a gym workout!

Ok that was not as quick of a story as I thought!
