So instead of going down to the gym today, I made a conscious decision to give my muscles a day of rest from the strength-training and instead give our pups a nice long walk for my daily exercise.
That's Cali above on the left. She's a cocker spaniel / poodle mix (a cockapoo! ;) and JJ on the right, he's a Yorkie / Terrier mix. Both are 15-20 pound rescue dogs.
The walk we took is one mile round trip over to Sunset Park and back home. It's a great park too because it's the highest point in Brooklyn and is relatively near the water. That means that when you get to the top of the hill you get this awesome view of Manhattan and the East River. You can also see the Statue of Liberty. Love it!
I'm sure JJ and Cali will love it if they get to go on the longer walks more regularly.

Ohhh those pups are SO cute. Bet they loved the walk as much as you did!
ReplyDeleteThey are adorable, I am sure that was great for all of you! Good job on the exercise front...way to keep at it!
ReplyDeleteSO CUTE! They are SOOOO CUUUUUTE!! DOGGIES!!
ReplyDeleteAnwyay, I think walking with them is a great idea: they can get out and stretch their little doggie legs, which is good for them; it IS a good idea to let muscles rest between strength-training workouts; walking uphill at a good clip can be one hell of a workout.
(did I mention how cute your doggies are on the polka-dotted pillow?? JJ has the "eye of mischief.")
ReplyDeleteJJ is all stink-eye all the time! The walk is a liiittle uphill. does that count clarissa?
