Helping Paws

Eric, my mom, and I have decided to train for the Derby mini-marathon in April. The training schedule is pretty tough. Its chilly and wet this winter...makes you just want to stay inside and cuddle with a book. Louie and Laika have been a great support! They love to go on runs with me, and because I know they love it I am more motivated than ever to get up and go. It is also a great training opportunity for them. The other day, Louie ran 3 miles with me, heeling, dragging his leash the entire way. I was so proud.
And jogging at the park with Laika is desensitizing her to “strangers.” Win win!

The pic of Laika was taken when she was a skinny new mommy. As many of you know, she is such a cow now! And I love every bit of her :) And the other is Rudy Roo as a curious little puppy. His sissy was just a fond memory when this shot was taken. How his life has changed (for the better) since then!

Everyone needs a dog...preferably two ...but one will do :)
