I wrote a book review a few weeks ago on Cesar Milan's new book Cesar's Way. In the article I vowed to follow Cesar's advice to walk my dogs at least 30 minutes per day.
Ummm, I haven't been too doing well on that promise. It's been disgustingly hot and muggy here in Ohio and I've chosen the eliptical machine, instead (ok, well, not every day). Have you ever tried to get a poodle on an eliptical machine? Norman's not crazy about it.
I also have a new dog in the family. I'm fostering a standard poodle who will hopefully become a service dog for a woman who is paralyzed. This woman used to train service dogw and then she was in a tragic accident that left her in a wheelchair. I hope this dog, Roxy, will be an incredible service dog. She's 9 months old, sassy and smart. She's the apricot poodle in the middle. Doesn't Vino look thrilled ? I digress...
It's hard walking three dogs at once. Milan says in Cesar's Way that the daily walk is important and that as the pack leader, I, the owner, must take these dogs on the trek to keep them happy, healthy and to make them respect me. There must be another way! I said his methods were not practical for the average dog owner...and I guess I'm living proof.
