I've tried the dog run and it never works out! She sprints the first few blocks and tires out, meanwhile I get antsy while she's busy sniffing every single flower and piece of mulch available to her

Hahaha I mean, that’s valid. She’s been running with me since we adopted her at age 2 and is now 8, so it’s a long time! We built up slowly from barely a half mile to longer :)

(This was also a lot easier when we lived in Colorado with all the designated open spaces where I could have her legally off leash and do training…)

Colorado, dog heaven! We've good opportunities to have her off leash, she just seems to be a prolific sniffer. We've gotten her through some long hikes (>5 miles), but her preferred time just doesn't seem conducive to human pacing: if she isn't ahead, she's behind and loving the sprint to catch up.

Aw living her best life! And yeah for real CO was amazing, I’m sure she’s sad we left (though we do try to take her to Shenandoah to scratch the mountain itch every so often 😅)

And the same for us: annually, we try and get her to Vermont; prior to that, we gave her plenty of space in Washington State parks. Apologies for the self-indulgence, but I think we can all enjoy a bit of levity:
