Rain Than Heat
Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at 8:49PM It was an insane day - well at least for me. We had company and I had many dogs to do. I finally got my water exercise in and then was back doing dogs. I just stopped a bit ago. I took some photos and video but I was really relying on Nathan to do it and he took a tiny bit and I took the rest. As I was busy, well its not my usual. But hopefully it is good enough.
None of the dogs went swimming. I simply was not available to take videos etc. Here is what I did capture.
Pepper and Scruffy was here for the day and really enjoyed themselves.
The dogs enjoyed chilling with Nathan.
Sparky dropped in and he is loving being with Nathan.
We believe in comfort for the dogs. They love hanging outside and oh a pillow nice for me?
Did you notice I am NOT getting my furniture stained.
Pepper and Ella really like each other.
Scruffy really likes Cooper and the Ella Bella.
Cooper believes in the ultimate comfort.
Kat really wanted to swim but I really had a lot on my plate. Sorry guys - tomorrow!
Sparky really likes Adele
Cooper finds the chase Adele game fun.
I am doing aerobics in the water for an hour a day. It's my time and I feel I don't have time for that but I am forcing myself to make the time. The dogs were wondering why I was in the pool. I did 1 hour and 10 minutes today even when Yvonne was here or it wouldn't get done. How rude of me but she understood and hung out. I moved and we talked and it was okay.
It was a 'good day' but an exhausting one for me.
Tomorrow we get to see Patches and Abby. It is a quieter day so we are hoping to get Cooper in the pool.

My goodness, looks like doggie heaven to me!
Good for you taking time for yourself, Darlah. My girlfriend iPad I get together one night a week for water aerobics ... Often turns into water gab fest while we kick around on our noodles!
Glad to see the dogs enjoying themselves. And good for you to find time in your busy day.
Look at all of them, so comfy out there by the pool. It's a dog's paradise for sure!!! Glad you get your time in the pool Darlah. The doggies just love watching you I bet!
Anne: I am exercising in the pool. I eek out 1 hour and 10 minutes a day that I really do not have. When walking I started getting shin splints as Nathan likes to walk very brisk. I was out of commission for 2 weeks. I could barely walk and was on pain pills. I had to stop running due to shin splints but Nathan doesn't quite understand and that is his pace. I have to work up to that pace or what happened happens. So now I am afraid of it happening again so instead of doing walks with Nathan I am doing the pool as it is safer. I actually have my ipad out there and do exercises for an hour and 10 minutes a day nonstop. My legs seems to be okay so far. I have to learn when walking dogs I go at my pace and if Nathan leaves me in the dust so be it. This way I can work up the area around my shins and increase speed as I go not right out of the gate. I hate starting all over. I hate that he doesn't understand. I miss our walks together. We were doing 12 minute miles - 3 miles. One should work up to that. Then silly me I tried to walk out my pain and made it around the block in serious pain. It cost me 2 weeks and still Nathan would park at the other end of the parking lot thinking I can walk it out. Oh well - I will get there.
The dogs are in heaven. The Havanese really seem to love pillows.
Love the way Cooper gets up close & personal with Nathan.
Darlah, based on my own experience, you have to do what works for you. As we get older (yes, we are!), we don't recover as well from injuries. So, pacing yourself is a good thing.
