Outdoor walking is a challenge.  In the summer the weather is clear but, it’s hot.hot.hot and that can make what should be an enjoyable experience almost a threat.  In fact, that’s when I first invented my idea of walking “just around the block” 5 or 6 times a day — that way I could walk while at work without my clothes getting drenched in sweat.

Well fall and winter are challenges too.  Today it’s chilly and damp.  The dog is desperate to go outside (he’s dancing at my feet and slapping me right this minute) but he’s only about 7″ tall; I can’t take him out in the rain! Or can I?

Heck if I know.  This little guy is my first experience as the primary owner of a pet.

(fiber and water are in my plans too)
