Cats are connoisseurs of comfort.
James Herriot, author, “All Creatures Great and Small”
James Herriot never met my dogs. Meaning no disrespect to felines nor their servants, cat-people, when I look upon Comet and Dexter, I see that they have exceptionally-grasped the finer things about comfort. My wife and I walk our two furry mutts four to six times a day (including one about 6 AM and sometimes around 10 PM). It depends on our schedule for that day, but I have had on occasion to drive back from a client site to walk these dogs at 10AM or at least before 11AM. Declaring our yard a poop-free zone now – we have a grandchild at an age where he runs about – we take the dogs on lots of walks. In exchange, the dogs are helping me get a LOT of daily steps in my workout plan.
