Exercise and good health for dogs and humans is important for enjoying life.
Today on the Texas Gulf Coast, the weather was warm enough to turn on the a/c but time spent in the porch rocker was pleasant. After supper, the dogs and I watched the sunset, listened to the crickets sing, and welcomed a fresh norther. As the sun set behind the trees, dark blue clouds moved across the sky bringing cooler breezes and fresher scents. The dogs felt good. You could tell it in the way they scampered around the yard barking with the slightest excuse, Carly always leading the way. Even though she and another of my dogs is getting older, it doesn't show in the way they play and move. I attribute their good health to plenty of exercise, keeping their weight down, and maybe the fact that they're mixed breeds. Exercise and maintaining proper weight is important for humans as well. Life is so much more enjoyable when you have good health. As Spring eases in, I look forward, after the work is done, to enjoying many pleasant evenings in the porch rocker with the dogs.
