The Dreadful Noontime Stroll

Lil’ Toot here. Mom’s commitment to Our ongoing Good Health and Longevity is astounding. She has Us on a great Eating Plan. Mine is supplemented with Treats. Hers not so much. (Guess She doesn’t like My Goodies, and that's more for Me.) We rest occasionally. And She puts Me to bed at a reasonable hour, for I’m up early. Living unstuck.

But Mom is on a Kick for exercise. Movement just for the sake of Shifting Around. The other day, We were out in the Noonday Sun. Hot and humid, it was. With Me in My year-round Coat, it was Something else. Her answer? Stop often, and wet Me down with Cool Water with a little Soap. Yep, She slipped in a Bath on Me. Living unstuck.

I’m curious: Do You enjoy the Occasional walk? Or are You a Couch Potato? I say: An exercise kick every Now and again is a Good thing. Mom now wears the puppy Pouch and tucks Me in halfway through the saunter. I vote yes! Living unstuck. #unstuck-living#noontime-stroll

just lay there and sizzled.
