Weather and Promised Walks

Hey Pups,

It's getting warmer.  The temperature today was in the 50s, and 60s are predicted for tomorrow.  The humans have even promised that we will get to go for a walk this weekend.  Dad will finally clean up our dog yard tomorrow which has had poopsicles frozen to the ground all winter, and he is getting the lawn mower ready for the summer.  I'm very excited that they will finally pay some attention to us.  All week, its been Wii this and Wii that, but there hasn't been any we time involving us dogs.  In fact right now, Dad is finally getting to writing this blog post that I've been clawing him about all week and ignoring the fact that the little biped has been in bed for 45 minutes and we haven't gotten our dinner yet.  He doesn't get that we can't tell time and understand that she went to bed an hour early so our dinner isn't really late yet.

Looking forward to lots of outdoor activities with the warmer weather this weekend...

Kisses, Skyboy

Idita-Walk Take 1

Hey Pups,

Mom and Dad took us for a walk on Sunday afternoon.  The walk time was counted towards my commitment to the Idita-walk which supports Camp Bronson in Nome, AL (for the Boy Scouts). We are walking for Team Sibermal, check out the blog here. So far, we have done 90 minutes of the 1049 minute required time.  The weather has been so unseasonably warm here the last few days.  On Sunday, the temperature was over 55 degrees F.  Today, it was over 60.  Unfortunately, by the time the bipeds get home from work, have dinner, etc, we don't usually get a walk in the evening on a week day this time of year.

Last year, they bought one of those doo-hickeys that allows a biped to walk two dogs with one leash. You can see in the videos, that I got strapped to Canyon with this thing.  Dad had us boys, and Mom had Meadow.  Towards the end of the walk, I had to bite Canyon's ear to get him to shut up.  He was yapping like a sled dog in harness.  I found a youtube of some sled dogs yapping so you can compare Canyon to them.

Hope you enjoyed the videos.  Got to get back to the Westminster show on TV.  Working group is on later tonight and I'm told the Best in Breed Siberian is a good looking girl dog.

Royal Kisses, Skyboy - hoping for warmer weather for the rest of winter so we get more walks (just not hooked to a half-breed Siberian doing the death wail...)

Get your Bipeds in Shape!

Hey Pups!

I've got a challenge for all my furfriends. It's time to get our humans off their lazy butts and get them moving. I was told about a great program called Idita-Walk by Sir Jack of Coastal New England.

This from the Idita-Walk 2009 Website: "Welcome to the Idita-walk 2009 homepage! An event to promote physical fitness in the spirit of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. The Iditarod Sled dog race is 1049 miles long from Anchorage to Nome, Alaska. To complete the Idita-walk, walk 30 minutes a day for 35 days between February 1, 2009 to March 31, 2009 for a total of 1049 minutes."

I've gotten my mom to sign-up as a member of Team Sibermal. We usually never get to go for walks so hopefully this will change our humans sedentary behavior. Both the human bipeds could stand to lose a few pounds. I think that they think they're going into hibernation and need to build up thier body fat.

I'll whip them into shape!

As King I proclaim you all to go and register your humans to get fit! It only costs $10 and proceeds benefit Camp Bronson maintenance, scholarships, and numerous youth related programs.
