So I went for my run this morning, and I passed a man with a dog. I think it was a golden retriever mixed with something else. The dog was not on a leash, but appeared to be well behaved. So well behaved, in fact, that she must have felt sorry for me running all alone and decided to keep me company. As I passed them, the dog turned right around and began running by my side and excitedly jumping around. The man was calling for her and apologizing to me – eventually she went back with her owner and I carried on my run.
Honestly? It was kind of fun to run with a dog, even if it was only half a block (if that). There was a small part of me that hoped she would keep running with me the entire way. When we grow up, I think I want a big dog to run with. Except J-M and I already agreed on a wiener dog. Something tells me they arent the best running companions – although running with a wiener dog would be good for my self esteem – with those short little legs, it should tire out waaaaay before I do.
You are on a blogging RAMPAGE! You should get the wiener dog, then he will tire out before you and you will feel good, and you will get extra exercise when you have to carry it home.
I sometimes think it would be fun to put on some rollerblades, grab the leash of a big strong dog, and let it pull me around. Of course it would have to be very well trained for this to work good…
