It’s hard enough for me to find the time and motivation to hit
the gym on a daily basis
let alone ensure that my dog Peanut gets a good, brisk walk
every day. Finding that extra hour to walk my dog is a challenge and, at
times, an inconvenience. Every now and then I will neglect Peanut and
just open the back door for her to go for a short run in the yard. I
feel bad saying that, but I’m sure many other pet owners can relate.
Certainly being a “good” pet owner — meaning one who doesn’t ignore a
pet’s physical health — is not easy. Time is of the essence, and with
work, travel, relationships, family responsibilities and other
commitments, it can be tough. So when I heard about a “dog boot camp,”
where I could get a good sweat along with my furry little friend, I was
on board!
