Plus-Sized Pin Up

NOAA says that it is 84 outside. It feels hotter while walking a dog. You would think that walking her to the mailbox and back would be a simple endeavor. Hardly! She is in the process of learning "heel". Being a Husky, she was born to pull (we're teaching her to pull ONLY on a harness), so you can imagine the scene. I'm trying to walk while pulling her back saying, "heel." At which point, Juneau decides that "heel" means "pull" (or we say, "hike").

One step, pull Juneau back saying "heel" > One step, pull Juneau back saying "heel" > . . .

On top of that, we have a cluster mailbox approx a block and half. One step, pulling Juneau back saying "heel," plus an 84 degree high makes for an interesting walk.

Needless to say, I am very out of shape! Covered with sweat, I collapsed on the couch and drank nearly 1 pint in less than minute. It makes me feel better that Juneau is just about as beat. But, I have to wonder, how much is being out of shape or the heat. I could argue it was all of the above.

As state earlier, "DOG FOR YOUR HEALTH!"
