Walking motivation?

[ladypeartree]

One of the advantages of fostering for a rescue is that you have all the joy of a dog ( and to be fair the hard work ) but few of the responsibilities as the rescue should provide and pay for vet care etc , I do drive for almost an hour to the rescue I foster for as I like their ethos  but once I have the dogs ( or dogs ) they stay with me until they are ready to be adopted and the rescue has done all the home checks etc then I take the dog back to meet the adopters and if they get on and the adoption goes ahead I being home a new dog. That way if a time comes when you cant look after the dog the rescue takes it back and you dont have to worry about what to do if you have to move or want to go on holiday etc . Some rescues here will bring the dog to you and collect it when the adoption day arrives as I know you dont have a car ...may be worth looking into what is available near you 

Part of the dog owning thing is the regular need for walking but if you are able to get into the habit then you will finds it works without a furbaby too   Glad you enjoyed your walk today

I'm in the States and live in eastern time zone.  So, we won't be walking side by side; but, we can share what we are doing.  Since you're in the country, I will tell you about something I like to do on occasion.  I love to see what native plants and flowers are blooming.  When they start going to seed I have bagged seed to be able to plant my favorites at home.

Try rebounding. You'll be satisfied with the results, and you can do it in the comfort of your home.  Rebounding is gentle on your joints and every cell in your body benefits from it.  It's a primary exercise for all nasa astronauts because it helps combat the effects prolonged weightlessness while in orbit has on the body. Just a minute or so to start, and within a couple weeks you'll be doing 5-10 minutes without a break.

Another option is to go to a nice city park and walk the pigeons,  no need to feed, nor potty train, nor pick up after them.

I would like that. ☺️ Maybe we can chat privately on the chat section? I'm in sleeping 💤 mode now, but I'll be delighted to hear from you. 😊 💐

Hi Ani, FYI I will be taking a vacation from the cyberworld for a little while.  Just know that I will continue to pray for your lovely walking endeavors.  ITC
