Can you get any cuter than those two faces right there when it comes to fur babies? I venture to say no. A few years ago we decided we wanted to adopt a dog from a local shelter and that’s when we came across Dexter. The cutest yorkie you will ever come across and with the sweetest personality you could ask for. He was our sole fur baby for about a year. We moved to Florida and a friends dog had puppies, we came across Guido, the chi-mix, and just knew he was an additon we needed. They took to each other so well and fit perfectly in our little family of 5.
Doesn’t that picture just melt your heart!! When we became dog owners, we knew we were taking on a whole new responsibility. To love and care for our new kiddos (because they really are like kids to us) and always do the best for them. Sometimes doing the best for them is also the best thing for us. Keeping them healthy with exercise can equal keeping their humans healthy too. In order to get healthier I have been trying to go outside with my dogs and run around, because to them that is a game and they are getting the exercise they need.
Lately, when I have been working out by walking or running, I have been using a website (and their app) called Map My Fitness. Now, I can take it a step further and add my pets in the mix thanks to the Purina® Pro Plan® Fitness Group on MapMyFitness. I can log the exercises we do together so I know not only am I getting (and staying) healthier, but my dogs are too. They’ve even made it fun for those who like a little competition. You can join the Leash On challenge for a chance at daily rewards and prizes along your healthy journey.
I want to make sure my dogs are around as long as possible, and that means being proactive, making sure they are healthy. Part of that is getting outside each day and having some fun together as a family with the additions we would not be complete without. Dexter and Guido are part of our family, just like our two legged kids, which means I want to make sure I am giving them the best life they can have!
