Time To Heat Up the Treadmill
Time to Use the Treadmill
Besides our grandson Aidan
graduating k-garten last week, Steve and I learned something very important
about our Chihuahua Lucky.
As many of you have gathered-it gets
mighty HOT around here. In fact, we’ve
been in the triple digits for a couple of weeks already. Because of this at this time last year, poor
Lucky had to stay indoors-save going out to do her business. Let’s face it-I didn’t want to brave 115 to
walk my 2+ miles either.
Our self-imposed prison sentence
started the end of May and our release date was the end of September. I used the treadmill. Lucky put on 1-1/2 pounds! It was a bummer for both of us.
Since then we've been looking for
protective booties so we could continue our outdoor walks over the summer.
Steve and I found a pair at the mom-and-pop dog wash and pet boutique that’s up
the road a couple of miles. We were so
excited! After all, she loves her
sweatshirt, sweater and fleece coat for our brief winter temps-this should go
over well!
Well, we did get the front 2 on-she
looked at us as if we were total nut jobs. Nevertheless, we then decided to try
and get the back ones secured-we heard a low, "grrr". We stopped.
Our thought was that she might go for this if she stands up with them on
and sees her feet aren't hot.
Nope, Lucky stood there like a
toddler trying on shoes for the first time.
We busted out laughing at the entire process and the outcome. Following gaining control of ourselves, we
took off the booties and put them back into their original packaging.
Guess what Steve did on his way to work the
very next morning? He returned the
booties.
It’s back to the treadmill for
me. Back to watching me on the treadmill
for Lucky. Sigh.
I know I’m posting early this
week-our daughters and I, Aidan, Jackson and Lucky are visiting our family in
Orange County for the holiday weekend!
Enjoy your families and see you next
week!
