I'm going to count fast miles this morning just because I ran with Josse :) She said we averaged 8:50's, but I had to make a few pit stops for piriformis/ham stretching and other things...so really the average higher overall. I love that Josse brings her dog now. Running has become our dog's play date (Did I really just write that?). She was saying how she never really considered herself an "animal/dog lover" until she had this lab. I had a lab that died of cancer 3 years ago, and before him, I probably didn't consider myself a 'dog person' either. It's not like I have cross-stich pillows with dog images or funny dog sayings, or framed artwork of my dog looking majestically anywhere in my house--but I'm here to tell you, that as adult woman whose lived through a lot of crap, I've truely embraced the deep and abiding love that comes with the loyalty, unwaivering faith, and enthusiasm of a dog.

Isn't running with dogs great? I really miss running with my late dog - a husky/Australian shepherd mix. Somehow it is not the same running with a bundle of fur that could easily be stepped on.

I adopted our current dog (australian shepherd) when she was 4 years old. My kids begged for a puppy, and what I said was: if I was willing to do that much work anymore, I'd adopt some more kids :) Of course, two years later I caved, and got them a puppy. It does take so much work and time. But as I'm sure you know, they sure make great buddies later when they're grown.
