Sunday was our first officially spring like day. It was warm enough for me to be able to bust out my chacos! Glorious spring- how long I've been awaiting you!!! In celebration, the family decided to take a nice long walk with a stop over at a park for Gwen to be able to run around for a bit. While there, a group of middle school boys took an interest in Jack-dog and were playing fetch with him and chasing him around, etc. Jack was loving it. At the park alone, he must of been running at full tilt for at least an hour. The next day I realized just how out of shape a dog can get after a long "cozy" Idaho winter; he could barely walk! He stayed in his kennel except for trips to the yard for pottie breaks in which he walked slowly all hunched over... it was quite pathetic. It's taken him a full two days to recover. I need to teach him how to use my treadmill or after a couple more winters in Idaho he's gonna look like this:
Another reason why we need to move somewhere warmer!!! Texas keeps sounding better and better all the time!

Hahaha! That's hilarious! Creaky old Jack...wait, he's not even all that old, is he? Texas is awesome...that's where I'm planning on us ending up! (though Z seems to think mountains are important or something...no matter, I'll convince him! ;) Glad you finally got some nice weather!
Wow! You had me going for a minute that the picture you posted was Jack...I was wondering how you did not notice how HUGE he had gotten through the winter. Glad that he has not exploded to that size yet. Give him a couple more times at the park with Gwen and he will be ready for summer! --Katie
That is not a weiner dog that is a bratwurst! Jack would at least be Italian sausage.
That is so funny! You should invent a treadmill for dogs. That would be perfect.
