Endless Energy

Last Tuesday Linda was in a lot of pain driving home from classes.  Even though she went just as hard and taught the same amount of classes, her nerve did not pinch at all and she was able to drive just fine.  She's tired and sore, but that's to be expected.  Since Jerry came over while she teaching to walk us, at least she can rest.  He took us out on the trail for a walk and then gave us our supper.  My new harness is wonderful.  It's the same exact style and it's even red.  It's just one size bigger.  Chimmie is riled up and wants to play, play, play.  Linda has had him outside since she got home.  He won't calm down.  Usually after a trail walk he has more energy than when he first wakes up.  The Dog Whisperer would say that an hour walk for him is not enough.  Who has time in their life to walk their dogs that long?  If Linda took him out from 6-7:30 a.m. every morning, that might be a good start.  Then she could do a short 1/2 hour walk at lunch and then another hour in the evening.  Better yet, she should buy one of those doggie-treadmills.  Then he could run and run while she naps!
