Feb. 16th - Taking a Walk
I'm taking my older dog for a walk. He's lost a few pounds and has been able to play a little bit better now. I've been kind of slacking with the walking since the weather is cold but I need to get back into doing it no matter what. Exercise is so important with health issues.
