A walk with Choco

This weekend I bought myself a new pedometer. I dropped my old one and it broke into three pieces. Time for another one. My new one doesn't seem to register smaller movements... which is just as well because I think I was tricking myself into believing quilting hand motion equaled a few extra steps. Choco and I went out to add steps to my pedometer.


"Ooh. The ferns are so soft. They tickle my tummy!"

"Bleh. These flowers taste terrible."

"Come on Mom. Let's get going!"

"Choco! Where are you going?! Come back!"

"Good dog. But you sure got wet. Take a breather by our church."

"I'm pooped."

"Let's take the short-cut through the forest."

A forty minute walk. 4625 steps (for me. Choco had more I'm sure.)

I love that 2nd photo of Choco!

The pedometer was an eye opener for me. When I'm out walking I rack up the steps pretty quickly but on days that I stay home ... My numbers would be very low if I didn't make myself get out and walk.

I like the last photo, waiting for a signal to run maybe? lovely flowers in the tall grasses. Cheers from Jean

Choco looks like a nice dog in these pix :)

Thank goodness for dogs, they get us out walking far more than without them. Choco looks as if she enjoys her walks. We're having a really hot spell of weather here in the UK at the moment, and I have to get out really early with Ruby, who has decided that she's not really that keen on the sun.

Choco had more steps? Choco has more legs!
