holiday over

had a wonderfull week of with the dogs and have had some great times together.
My mission for the week was to see what it took to tire out a staffsky. now that they are both of an age that i can walk and excersise them to the limits i wanted to see what i was up against. In the Autumn Im bike joring with them both as it will be cooler and laska will be old enough so thought this would be a good benchmark for future training.
Its been a mission and climbing hills and walking through thick brush i was about to give in on wednesday as i was in pain, but spured on by the dogs. its been rainy and wet with what feels like 50kg of mud on my boots and then to unbearable heat which for a dog who's half heritage is in siberia its been hard. but on friday after the days walk and 45 mins of playing with a rugby ball marley finaly laid down...tierd. below is a the first ever photo of the boy laying down outside on a walk. to think two years ago this week would have literaly killed me... thanks to them I'm fitter and healthier than ever and i love em for that.
so what we did, 64.93 miles in 28.6 hours

and one for the record, i really did tire him out  


they are gonna love it when i go to work tommorow lol

They'll sleep for a week!

Well, maybe a few hours, anyway!

Im afraid your probably right lol. its been an eye opener for me, im wondering if i am underexcersing them on a normal week if this is anything to go by so im setting alarm 1 hour earlier  and doing some extra at night from now on until i can get them in front of a bike to tire them out

Sounds like you had a great week, looks like he may sleep for a bit

Sounds brilliant, glad you had a good week off  

They are going to miss all that fun this week. Glad you had a great week off:D 

Sounds like you are all fit and healthy!  

It's facsinating to see the figures of your weeks walking and adventures. I'm sure they will both have a great sleep now.

glad you had a good week off! They are going to be all worn out!

That is a whole lotta walking! Do they swim Nath, I find that really does tire Moo out with little effort from me lol Xx

haha it's a good feeling when you can tire them out! It rarely happens for me too, only in summer the heat can make her more tired. In winter I always give up way before her lol

glad you and the dogs had a brilliant week,sounds tiring just reading about it!

Sounds like a tiring week! Im sure its worn the pooch's out for a couple of hours Im with Janey on this one...taking them swimming requires little effort from moi sounds more appealing!
