He takes the lead

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

Walking with Patch at my side is the best! Perhaps I should rephrase that…following behind my beloved companion as he decides exactly which path we will take is the best.

Three times a day, I open that front door stand to one side and let His Nibs through. From this point, he will either stop at the car, turn left or right. And that’s just the way I like it. Leaves me to blog-think-mode and him to be in charge of his own destiny for a while. Win win.

Without Patch, I fear I would not get much exercise at all. Which is a tad worrying. When the time comes, I will clearly need a chat with myself about remaining fit… but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

In the meantime, we will be out there together every day come rain or shine… and at the moment, autumn in England is spectacular.

  1. Patch is a cutie! I’m borrowing a friend’s dog next month as a trial run for maybe getting one of my own when I retire next year. It would encourage me to leave the house, just as it does you.

    • It’s the best thing ever. But your life will never been the same again. They want and need routine. Work around that and you have a friens/companion/for life. Depe ding on their age be ready to devote the next 15 years of your life for theirs. I’m older now, so when I lose Patch there will be a space for me to care for an oldie
