Mom's trying to kill me!

I don't think I've ever walked 3 miles on one walk. I've gone a mile, but my little legs would peter out much more that that!

My Mom has it in her that I need to go on LOTS of walks (although not quite as long each time). She says that I need to wear my Jackie energy off. I hope I don't end up in Deuce's nudist colony.

Well....Andy was a Yorkie mix and couldn't walk very far with his short legs. Plus being all black, it didn't take him long to get over heated in the summertime. So...after Andy died and mom was ready for another dog, she wanted one with longer legs...so she got me!! We can walk forever. But...she didn't know that I am a squirrel crazy beagle.

Aww Colton, it's good for you. Plus, you have to protect your Mom from those COWS. Just think how buff you'll be for the ladies after all this walking. I hear a new foster is arriving at your house soon so maybe he'll take over some of the duties huh?

Hey, what's wrong with my nudist colony? Long live naked!!!

Colton, you're a big dog...take a stand or a sit. When she drags you out, just sit down and refuse to go. What's she gonna do? Pick you up and carry you? I have faith in you, buddy! Long live big, naked couch potato dogs!

Hmmmm, never thought about that. And you are right, it's not like she can pick me up and carry me....

I now have to walk past 2 pastures of COWS! Can you believe that?! They moved some of the baby COWS to a pasture closer to my house and those young ones LOVE to walk the fenceline with us. Mom laughs at me everytime we go past them because I jump everytime they moo at me.

Colton, are you telling me that you're afraid of cows? Dude, I thought you were invincible...unafraid of anything!! Well, I guess we're all afraid of something. I hate ironing boards.

Not necessarily afraid of them, just don't know what to think of them. I do growl and stand tall next to mom so that they know I am her protector, but I don't like it when they talk back to me.

I bet I could take those cows on. They look like HUGE Ojo's...well, maybe.

Oh man....that is just so sad. Your mom is as mean as ours. Just because our mom thinks SHE needs to lose weight, she thinks we do too. I'm so sick of dieting. Good luck. Oh and don't worry about those cows. They won't hurt you. Promise.

Hey Colton, could I go in your place??? Mom doesn't take me on enough walks, as far as I'm concerned.

ABSOLUTELY Charlie! I keep telling mom that Maize is the one who needs to loose weight and SHE can take my turns too, but for some reason she keeps taking me.

Hey! Your mom's not trying to kill you, LOL. I've been doing the same thing with my mom and I LOVE it! We're doing about 3 miles everyday, too. But we don't get to see pastures or cows, you're so lucky. All I get to see are butts in spandex whizzing by on bikes and yelling "Passing on your left!" Mom tells me our goal is to be ready to enter the last corral of the Indy Mini Marathon next year, then she usually says HA! Dad says if the MiniMarathon were held inside of a mall then Mom would have not problems.

Dang, Colton, you don't think your mom's gonna enter you in a mini marathon, do ya?!

Oh heck no!!!! She better not even be thinking of it.....

Maybe your mom feels safer with you by her side.

Mom says you can come walk me any time! I have an endless amount of energy and Mom doesn't know what to do with me half the time.
