If you’re looking for the answer to Friday’s “Where’s Choppy?” challenge, it’s here.
We had a windy but beautiful Sunday of Memorial Day weekend here in southern Wisconsin. It was a perfect day to take a couple walks – and Paul joined us for one! It was also the longest walk of the challenge so far, and the day with the most miles walked (and also, the most cows seen).
Walk One:
Date: May 29, 2016
Location: Home
Length: 3.3 Miles
Who: Sarah & Choppy
Walk Two:
Date: May 29, 2016
Location: Home
Length: 2.1 Miles
Who: Sarah, Paul & Choppy
Could this dog look any happier???
Whatever you are getting out of all this exercise, be certain that Choppy is having a ball. 🙂
And funny thing with the cows!

She was having a great day yesterday – I think she is enjoying the walks even more than I am!

I’m sure of it. The walk is the ‘hunt’ to the dog, plus they get to check out the territory -who’s been there since last time. It also bonds the ‘pack’ more. (Even just you and Choppy are a pack.) It’s why I try to take mine every day, because it is so important to them. It’s not (just) the exercise, but all the sights, sounds and scents. The longer the walk, the more fun.
Then they go home and eat the kill – You put food in their bowl!!
So yes, it makes for a much happier dog. 😀

It’s tough to be a maniac, but Choppy can handle it!

Paul needs to get out and walk more – and Choppy is looking happy! 🙂

I think he would agree with that – but walking more also requires getting up earlier, so it’s not the easiest!

New friends for Choppy….nooooo too many BIG cows, bunnies are much better. Haha, has Paul recovered from his walk?

Bunnies are definitely more Choppy’s speed (and size). Paul has recovered from the walk, but I don’t know when he is going to recover from working in the garden this afternoon!

Cows can be intimidating, especially when they are running toward you. Gives you a little insight into what it would feel like to be in a stampede in the old west.

Seems like it was a MOOvelous day! We have a camel for a neighbor, I am sure you would find him quite interesting Choppy. He likes to play ball with his two miniature goat buddies.

Oh I love the way cows need to rush over and investigate 🙂 Except when you’re standing in the paddock with a bale of hay, then it can be a little intimidating!

Choppy thought this was intimidating – and there were two rows of barbed wire in between us and the cows!
