It does appear that the days are going faster now. Its natural. I am sure about 10 days before Robbie is to go back to his home the days will stand still. 24 hours will seem 48. 48 hours will seem an eternity.
And yet, with 31 days still to go, I already miss the bugger a little bit. Not because of all the ruckus he is causing, that is just him and Hershey together being animals.
But he is making me "work out"!!!!!
First of all, I am walking. Not a lot. Just around the block. Maybe a total of 20 min. But thats at least 40 min a day more then I usually walk. Hershey just wants to do his business and then get back to his couch! Not Robbie. He wants to go out. Explore. Chase joggers and bark at other dogs!
And BOY that bulldozer is pulling on the leash when we go. So not only do my legs and lungs get a workout, but also my arms. When Robbie decides to go a certain line he doesnt deviate much. He will square his shoulders and walk! Straight ahead. A sniff here and a mark there but basically full steam ahead!
And NOTHING can stop him - much! I mean, I put 200lbs (all muscle of course) on a scale and I have to stem against the tide. Have to haul him back - be stern with him. Yeah, right! A lotta good THAT does!!! He stops for a second and then back to steamrolling anything in his way!
But as I said. I am getting a workout.
And then of course I have Robbie at work with me. Another few workouts! Short ones, since I dont have time to go for a 1h walk with him but still - a few stairs need climbing, a very small embankment needs hiking and all the time Robbie needs pulling!
Why did I sign up at the gym? I truly dont know - all I need is Robbie to get in shape!
Tada :-)
