We Like to Walk

September 6, 2010

Today’s beautiful weather called for a long walk around the neighborhood with my two favorite guys. Luckily, they were in the mood for a walk too! ;-)

We opted for the scenic route this morning.

In addition to picturesque views, the scenic route also offered lots of interesting smells.

Sniff, sniff, sniff.

We walked for about an hour before Murphy wanted to rest his little pug feet.

We were more than happy to stop and give Murphy a chance to catch his breath, but then he decided that he didn’t want to walk at all. Look at that face! He’s so stubborn sometimes.

So, Mal helped him “lawn surf” down the hill.

LOL! :lol:

Murphy didn’t seem to mind at all. I love our dog! :-D

Lunch

After our walk, we headed home for lunch. I had a bowl of Stonyfield French Vanilla yogurt with Flax Plus Maple Pecan Crunch cereal, chopped walnuts, and sliced fresh peach.

Mmm! So delish! Peach + maple is an amazing flavor combination.

Mal is taking me on an afternoon adventure! See ya! 8-)

P.S. The sellers accepted our second offer!!! :mrgreen:

I love walking! It is so relaxing and nice that it doesn’t even feel like exercise! I think fall is the best time of year for walking – cool but not too cold. :-)

Cynthia (It All Changes) September 6, 2010 at 3:00 pm

Yeah for the accepted offer. Now onto the inspection!

Peanut and Leo do the sit and not move bit but refuse to let us drag them. They play dead weight until we pick their furry buts up and walk home. Hot summer days equal lots of short walks.

I can’t believe he made it on an almost hour long walk, our pugs last 20-30 minutes max!
