small changes can equal BIG FUN

Do you ever feel a little restless? Maybe you are just being a little extra naughty or getting into the trash more than often, or maybe you are just a little more annoying to your human because it seems like they are just too busy to play? Well, I know I have been feeling a little stagnant lately, so I got up the gusto to have my mom take me out on a new type of walk, one where we try new things, and let me tell you what…. it was so much fun!

Sometimes the simplest changes in a walk routine can really spice things up and stimulate my active mind and body. And the thing is is that we didn’t even do anything really extraordinary. First we went on our walk backwards, not like walking backwards of course, but like in the opposite direction from how we normally do our loop. Then whenever we saw something we could jump over, we did! We jumped over sticks, and curbs and parking lot blocks and it was really silly, but it made me excited and I wasn’t expecting it. Then we played kick the pine cone and get it! I know, I know, so dumb right? But that pine cone was hilarious, it was just a little pokey and mom would kick it and then I would drag her behind me to get it and back and forth and it was the best.

So really, if you are feeling a little pent up, just ask your human for a walk with some small but fun and weird changes to it. It makes a big difference and its a small way to give us doggos a little outlet for our energy and it doesn’t really take any effort on the human side either, I mean come on, a pine cone kick and a jump over a stick? lol. But i’m telling you guys, it was fun.

Ok hope you all had a nice weekend!
