everyone here is a dog person, and dogs need to be walked. They, those torture masters who call themselves physical therapists, tell me walking is one of, if not the best exercises. One would think we (the RTF collective) with all of our dogs needing walking, are the healthiest group on the planet. For me, just a glance at the bathroom mirror tells me that we are not. So I wonder, how many of you all walk for the health of it. Other that the walking you do in your job, be than postal letter carrier or toll booth operator and everything in-between. How much walking do you do?

I had been walking my dog a mile to 2 miles per day. I recently borrowed one of these so I could start using my bike and will soon order one of my own:

I have been taking the dog out for a couple mile run first thing in the morning, then walking later for a mile or two. I think the walk is still necessary for bonding purposes and for my own exercise. And after burning off the excess energy on the bike ride, the dog is much more receptive to training. I think anyone with a high energy lab should consider this.
Shayne,

Did you tape that avatar on one of your trips to the gym with Staci?

That thing is very distracting, but it's FUNNY!
