    On nice, warm days I'll take the dogs to the beach. Otherwise, I take them through the neighborhood and occasionally into town. Most of the time though, we do end up heading out to the beach.

    When I walk both dogs, I usually walk them to the school to run on the 20 footer leashes and do some training. But if I'm just walking one dog, we usually go up the hill to the local pet supply store. I think it's about a 2-3 km walk when we go to our usual stops.

    Once Finn has all of his shots (April 10th), we will venture out more than just the neighborhood! But, I wanted to ask, since Safeway and Starbucks were listed, are dogs allowed in those places?


    Thanks, Dogz!

    I have tons of leads but dont need them as we are in the middle of nowhere,lol

    During the week we just walk around the neighborhood. On the weekends I prefer going on hikes for a few hours when the weather's nice. If not, I try to go to the dog park

    I live back in the country so usually I walk the road we live on. Everyonce in awhile we do go to town, and a few other places. It just depends what we feel like doing.

    It depends on what time of day and how much energy I have. If it's the afternoon we drive to land the university owns. There are some nice trails, or to the bike path. If its a quick walk, I don't have the desire to drive anywhere to walk, or the evening hours, we walk in the neighborhood where there is more traffic and people, for safety reasons. It depends on my mood. Also if Alvin is going with, we walk in the woods because he says walking in town is boring.

    Usually until the end of my street and back again. Our street is nice and quiet so I love walking along there. In the summer, I would usually take Mickey to the park to run and play a bit.

    Mostly in the neighborhood. Sometimes we go to the park and walk around the small lake there. She loves seeing all the duckies. Sometimes we'll take a hike somewhere.

    Since we live in an apartment, Chipper doesn't like a leash, and it's cold out, we just open the door and Chipper runs up and down the long hallway about 5 times til he's panting and then comes back in.

    Usually we go around the block or to the park during the week. On dog training nights, I usually go early and take whichever dog I've got for a walk along the bike path (Shane failed training, so I go by myself now ). On weekends or if it's a nice night we'll go to the beach or somewhere new.
