Artic Air and Holiday Lights

I have new walking partners on nights when there is no karate lessons. Scott and Max have been a great match for me. Scott used to do a casual walk around the .7 mile block with me. But now we have Max and he loves walking. And Scott loves anything Max loves. We've been going over three miles briskly. My husband walks like a slug (I don't get much excercise), but Scott and Max like to keep a fast pace and sometimes likes breaking into a run. It's been cool in the evenings, like Arctic air, and for us the walk is effortless and I'd go further with more time. Our neighborhood is full of holiday lighting keeping it nicely lit for walking and it's entertaining checking out all the lights.

Max walks on a loose leash with Scott. Tonight Scott tried something different. It was quiet tonight. No cars or other dog walkers. After we got our pace going, Scott took Max off the leash and he STAYED at Scott's heal as we walked and jogged three miles. Scott handles Max so well. Scott feels really accomplished to have such an obedient dog. Now Max gets his reward being all cuddled up on the couch with Scott.
