It is time for Mitch to retire being that men age faster than women. He’s stumbling now like Biden. I retired at 85 and now I’m pushing 90 and I go out and walk some blocks to the P.O. for my mail. I live alone. On nice days I walk out to the riverside and sit in a bench. I think I probably have the right to say, “Mitch, it’s time to give it up. You are weak kneed and you know it.
Well, God Bless you! I am 67 and learning that I got to start lifting weights because I am losing my balance. I work PT and sit 5 hours a day. And of course I am hearing Sitting is the new smoking. I should blame it on my dog. He died at 20 Years old in 2021. We walked 3 times a day. I was in great shape. Once the winter came and he wasn’t here I stopped walking. BIG MISTAKE!.
Good Bless You both! (Sounds like he has, so far...)
My ‘rule’ is that I bundle up and walk every morning if it’s above freezing. My Beagle loves the routine and always scares up a rabbit or two on our walks.
If you do nothing else, walking is so important for so many health reasons.
In your mid-60’s isn’t too late to get another dog. (I’m 62) I adopted two elderly Lady Basset Hounds a few years back. They were already 11 and 12 years old, but they had some of the best years of their lives on our farm, no doubt. They were City Dogs and had never been off-leash.
At least we’re all still off-leash, LOL!
