There are some people out there who have never experienced a tired dog – not just a bored and lazy dog but a mentally and physically worn out dog. I know plenty of dogs that have been conditioned to lay around the house all day, because they have nothing better to do. My mutt will [...]

Ace and I walked a leisurely 2.57 miles today. On walking days, boy do we walk. We are in no hurry. There is a dog that we pass on most days that is stuck behind a wooden dog run. He howls and barks at us before I even remember he’s there. We can’t see him [...]

When I get too hot my mutt will carry my mittens for me. I don’t mind the drool; they are an old pair from Target used only for running. Ace has also been known to carry my hat and keys (when attached to a big lanyard or key chain). It’s useful to own a retriever [...]

Ace and I walked 2.98 miles this morning. I noticed birds singing for the first time in months. Dozens of birds. I think they were having a party. I let the mutt carry an old Frisbee that he found and stole from one of our neighbor’s trash piles. Apparently a few didn’t get the memo [...]

To prepare myself for the half marathon in May, I’ve decided to run for certain times every few days. Today all I wanted to do was 3 miles in 30 minutes. Not so bad, right? Well, with the mutt stopping to pee, me being slightly hungover and running the whole thing on ice, we finished [...]

As Ace and I set out for our early walk this morning, I knew hundreds of people and their dogs were out walking throughout the world, even during those same 60 minutes. To me, early walks are the best because of the quiet. There are always a few people already hustling to get to work [...]

Did anyone make it to 100 miles in March? I know Pickles and her owner made it further than Ace and I. If you made it 100 miles or close to 100, let me know. If you blog about it, I will link to your site. Ace and I walked a total of 60 miles [...]

We just had to go for a walk across the Main Avenue bridge connecting Fargo, N.D., and Moorhead, Minn. this morning. And we weren’t the only idiots out taking photos of the flood in the sunny weather. Just another walk in the – well, you can’t see Woodlawn Park anymore. Ace probably would’ve jumped in [...]

Send your outdoor dog photos to Lindsay@thatmutt.com, and I will publish them next Sunday. These are some really great photos! I am impressed! It’s fun to [...]
