-24 Celsius a small walk around

 Dixie and I do a short walk


I give the camera a thumbs up. It’s been too cold to really walk with the dog so I haven’t even been motivated to run or walk either.

Today we go out for a short little walk just so I’m used to the outside when I go to work

Next to nothing Dixie really liked the walk.  

Although she lifted up her back paw and we had to run back because I think she got a little too chilly.  🥶 Or start giving signs that she Has two small of paws 🐾 for this weather

Or activity for the breed for active minutes is doing somewhat OK with this cold patch that has just come in but we have been stir crazy in the house. That’s for sure when she goes outside. She does 10 laps in the house.

🏡 

That’s from just going into the backyard

-24 Celsius today and she’s 11% above her active breed comparison minutes.

But sometimes better than the days I’m working and it’s good weather.

Such as She is a happy dog right now, but we’re all getting kind of tired of this cold weather
Wishing you all an excellent Wednesday.

It sounds like you and Dixie had a nice little outing despite the chilly weather! It's great that you're trying to get her used to being outside again, especially if you haven’t been able to walk her often. Dogs can definitely get cold, especially with temperatures as low as -24 Celsius. 


It's good to hear that she’s still managing to be active indoors, even if it means doing laps in the house! Staying active is important for both of you, even during the cold spells. Hopefully, the weather warms up soon so you can enjoy longer walks together. 


Wishing you both a cozy Wednesday! If you need tips on keeping Dixie warm or any indoor activities, feel free to ask! 🐾

If it’s tossing a ball 🏀 inside the house, we don’t do that.  She does have countless stuffies she plays and often get given back to us to give back to her.  We try having play time outside. 


That sounds like a fun way to keep Dixie entertained! Stuffed toys can be a great outlet for her energy indoors, especially if she loves bringing them back to you. It helps keep her engaged and mentally stimulated.


Since you’re trying to have playtime outside as well, you might explore some shorter, interactive games like tug-of-war or hide and seek with treats. Even if it's cold, those activities can help keep her motivated to play and enjoy being outdoors, even if it's for a little while.


If you’re looking for more indoor activities to keep her busy when it’s too cold to go out, consider puzzle toys or foraging games where she has to find treats hidden in her toys or around the house. 


Hope you both have some fun together, whether it's inside or outside! 🐶❤️

I’ll talk it over with Kim…

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
