That is so true Swede.

I know my dog loves going for her hikes too. She is a mini Dacshund...and has a tendency to overeat...so the exercise has been good for both of us...we are both losing fat...and gaining muscle...she is in great shape now. And she gets sooooo excited when it is time to leave. She does help with my motivation, she doesn't care if it is hot...rainy...cold...blowing...whatever...she still wants to go and smell and run...and play. I love my dog.
