Today started off with sad news: My brother's dog, Orion, died this morning. We aren't sure exactly how old he was. Probably close to 12 years old is the assumption. He followed one of my brother's friends (who was walking) over to my brother's house and then wouldn't leave. Although he tried getting him to leave, he eventually gave in and took this flat coated retriever mix in. I often wonder if Orion knew what a great life he was given? He seemed too the way he loved and adored my brother.
Pets, particularly dogs are such good companions in the home and out. I love how they get you active to do things and these days can go just about anywhere with you. While mine are not the best to run with (the random squirrel can be particularly dangerous if you aren't paying attention), I walk them every single day. For some of us, that's the best way to get started on that healthy lifestyle again. A walk with our four legged best friend. They enjoy it, it's good for you and it's a great way to get that vitamin D!
So I hope if you do have a dog, you're out being active with them. If you don't have one, maybe that's a good reason to get one.
