she's a bit bigger than that now, and possibly the most adorable thing in the world (except for my other furry love, my beautiful kitty). i usually take her for a run every morning, but there are some days when i just can't be bothered to get out of bed. these days are usually saturdays or sundays admittedly, so i don't feel too guilty.
however, my man and i were walking her on the beach recently and at the moment, we are training her with basic commands, like "come", "sit", "stay". so we stood about 25 metres apart and called her to us, one after another, back and forth, like a tennis ball. as she was panting and tripping over the sand to collapse at our feet, we realised that this was a brilliant lazy man's dog exercise!
so from now on, when we are feeling a little too lazy for a full on run, we take her down to the beach and play "puppy tag". It's a win-win-win, because we can do it anywhere there is even a 20 metre long stretch of grass, it's reinforcing her obedience training, and she gets her exercise (without us being as pooped as she is after we're finished).
so if you're ever feeling too lazy to take your pooch for a wander, try puppy tag :)
