Finding The Joy In Walk Your Dog Month By National Walk Your Dog Month sounds a bit strange to me. It’s not like your dog won’t need walked the rest of the year! But, to mark the occasion, I thought I’d share some pictures and personal thoughts on the benefits of dog walking. Firstly, January is notoriously bad weather-wise. This is why the default setting for many of us is to hibernate. Perhaps spotlighting this month for getting out and about is actually a very wise idea! And what better encouragement can you have than the sad, plaintive eyes of your four-legged friend, desperate to break that cabin-fever feeling?
