I try to write about what no one else knows. No one can copy that. No one can fake that. What do I know? I know what it’s like to run 15 miles every day in all weather. Fifteen miles is an average day. Sometimes I run (and walk) 20 miles. Sometimes five or six. [...]

Technology makes my life chaotic. I love technology, obviously, but I don’t want it to control my life. For me, remaining in control means consciously observing a day of rest on Sundays, away from technology and other distractions. A day of rest is hardly my idea, of course. People have been attempting to relax on [...]

I own a dog running business in Fargo where I offer running and walking sessions for dogs in 30-minute, 60-minute or two-hour time slots. What I’ve realized is that for most dogs, a 30-minute run does nothing to tire them out. In most cases, it’s just enough to get the dogs hyped up. Every dog is [...]

I love technology, but I am easily overwhelmed. My goal is to make my living through blogging, but I am an extremely private, shy and quiet person. I am not available at all times. I use a four-year-old “dumb” phone, and it’s always on silent. I’ve been eligible for the discounted upgrade for more than two years, [...]

When someone volunteers to foster a dog, one of her first questions is always going to be, “Does this dog get along with other dogs?” Sometimes the answer to this question isn’t known because the dog hasn’t been given the chance to interact with other dogs under appropriate settings. The problem is, when a dog [...]

If you own a dog walking business or similar business, sooner or later someone will ask something like, “Oh, do you actually make money?” I met a guy through a friend over the weekend, and he asked me what most normal people ask: “What do you do?” Usually my response to this question is something [...]

It’s important for me to dedicate individual time each day to my own dog Ace and to my foster dog Cosmo. Ace and Cosmo have different needs as far as attention, exercise and training, but I usually end up walking them together to save time. Or, I walk one dog and the other doesn’t get [...]

11/29/11 edit: Harvey has been adopted! After looking at this sweet face, how can you tell me you are not in love? I spent just a half-hour running around West Fargo with Harvey, but I began to convince myself I needed a second foster dog. Of course, I know better. But you could foster him! [...]

Every time we go for a run, Lloyd and Lily have a routine. First they stare at me, uninterested. Then they stand, stretch, shake their whole bodies, dance and wag. Next they plop down in front of me in perfect sit-stays. Lily practically shakes with excitement. She yawns dramatically, looks at the door, looks at [...]

Ace doesn’t care much for the heat or the cold, but we both like fall and I am glad it’s here. On our fall and winter walks, Ace and I pick up the pace just to stay warm. In the summer, we take our time. I took these photos back in July on one of [...]
