Dog walking

One requirement I have this year is to walk my dog everyday and take him to the dog park once a week.
We got our dog Romeo this past summer. He was a rescue pup from SCARS. I think he is a cross between a german shepard and a collie and is about the same age as Julia. Anyway he is super smart, loving and high energy.
To be honest though, since we got him, we haven't been taking him out much. We'd take him to the dog park once in a while and he'd ride with me to the store occasionally, but once the cold weather hit he became a house dog. We do have a huge yard but I think he likes seeing the sights too. He would always watch the other dogs going for walks in front of our house and I felt bad because I knew he wanted to be out there too.

Now with the I Ho Chuan requirments, I've been taking him out every day. He loves it. As soon as he sees me go to the door at night and grab his leash he is ready to go! It's a great thing when 10 or 15 minutes out of your day can change the life of another living thing so immensely. I'm glad to make him happy. This I Ho Chuan thing isn't about just changing how many pushups or situps you can do or about getting your next promotion; it's also about changing your family (pets included) lives for the better and changing how you interact with them.

Here's to becoming a better person one dog walk at a time!

Today I consumed: a piece of banana bread, a jumbo blueberry muffin, a ham and cheese sandwich, a chocolate bar, an orange, 2 hard-boiled eggs, an order of boston pizzas past, a pot of coffee, 5 glasses of water and a beer.
