running with dogs


I ran at one of my favorite parks today with my dogs. I love to bring them along because they have such a good time. My doctor told me a while back that when I run, I should leave the dogs at home because they throw off your normal "stride" or whatever. I really noticed it today. Jacob would stop to sniff every tree, then jerk when he reached the end of the leash. Then he'd run to get ahead of me until he would jerk on the leash again. I wanted to kill him by the time we were done. Oh, and I scared a lady with a little weiner dog. She didn't think I could handle my dogs, and was scared they were going to eat her precious pooch for lunch. It was kind of funny. Finally I got her to pick up her dog, and walk by. sheesh.
