The scale is playing nice with me, but I'm also playing nice with my food intake, so guess it's a win-win here. lol Been upping my walking quota by mixing jogging into my walks, and by increasing the length of my walks. Yesterday was a 7 mile walk, the first 3 1/2 miles was 1/2 mile walk to warm up, then jog 1/2 mile, walk 100 feet, rinse and repeat. Then a nice 3 1/2 MPG walk back to the truck. Was kinda surprised, I did something similar on Monday, and by last night I had a VERY sore butt! Never had jogging work my buttocks before, but then again, never actually jogged that much before, either! lol But hey, it's all good.
On a sadder note, I found that my 7 year old walking buddy, Dink, has bone cancer in his left shoulder. He pulled up sore a week ago, and I took him to the vet on Saturday. The xrays show the bad section of bone up near the joint, and because of his bad hips, he's not a candidate for amputation. I'd never put him through that anyway, he's a large dog, and I don't think he'd come through surgery that was that traumatic very well. I cry daily over this, he has been my "golden child" dog...so good that when we walk (he's always off leash) people will stop in their cars and tell me they can't believe that he's so good. SERIOUSLY! He is the easiest dog to train, picking up in a day what other dogs take weeks to grasp...oh, here I go again. Have a good day, y'all, stay OP, and remember, we CAN do this!
