I can only hope to be the human my dog thinks I am.
My wife is going on a three week trip next month. Our daughter is going to loan me one of her dogs for that time so I will be forced to stay on a schedule. Up in the morning for walks and have to skip that extra beer each night. The Ridgie for half the time and the pit mix for the other. The two have different needs and personalities. But they both require a *lot* of exercise, especially now that it is cooling off. And the deer are out, very stimulating for them.
