[NOTE: In case you’re reading this well after the fact, look at the date this post was published – it was our 2018 April Fool’s Day joke post!]
After exactly 699 days, I have sad news to report: we have come to the end of the Dog Walk Challenge. That’s right, just a month short of reaching two years of walking at least a mile a day, yesterday Choppy and I didn’t get our mile of walking in.
I have to say, things went out with a whimper, rather than a bang. I’d like to tell you that something dramatic prevented us from walking yesterday. But no one broke a leg or couldn’t get out of bed due to a violent illness. Nope. I didn’t really feel like walking yesterday, so we just didn’t go out for a walk.
This picture of Choppy pretty much sums it up.
What about going forward? Do I think we’ll restart the challenge?
Probably.
Because, after all . . .
APRIL FOOL!!
The Dog Walk Challenge is still going strong! Saturday was Day 700 – we’ll post our usual update on Tuesday. In the meantime, watch out for all those other tricksters out there!
Hahahaha! Good one, Sarah and Choppy!

I saw the headline and the picture, and thought, s**t – Choppy’s dead!
Good one, Sarah, but it doesn’t count. It’s well after midday here.

Is there a time limit on April Fool’s Day Jokes?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Probably not, these days. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s it was generally held that one only did them until noon. Having said that, it could only possibly apply to face-to-face pranks – newspaper and now web-based japes can hardly be expected to self-destruct at noon in each target’s time-zone.

I like the idea of a time limit on the jokes – they can get old very quickly otherwise, particularly if you’re with someone who enjoys somewhat mean-spirited jokes.

But where does an April fool joke stop and fake news start?

😹🤪 you got me, I only scrolled as far as I could see the photo! My daughter texted this am that there was a Peacock in their backyard…I wrote back ‘April Fool’s’…..yup…but she texted her spouse, who was working in the basement, in his ‘shop’ …he came running upstairs! 😹 she got him back…during the storms last month there was lots of light flickering & major outages…he thought it was funny to turn the light off while she was blow drying her hair… My son did spot a Turkey in the backyard this am…I saw it, too.
