Meet my running partners!!

So Meet the running partners, the brown and black is a beagle mix, rescue, she is 9 years old,  sweet, and a gentle soul.  The white one is tough as nails, and fast, with a wicked personality, she is also 9 years old and a rescue, we think Jack Russel Mix.  I love them both, and while running with them presents it's own set of challenges I will miss them both when that day finally arrives.  We have run together for the last 7 years, and they are really good at staying on pace, walking, running when I want to.  We train on a multi use trail, and the beagle knows the yellow line in the middle is a, "do not cross zone."  She is pretty good about staying put.  When temps hit about 75*, they stay home, anything colder than about 30* they stay home.  It is so funny when they see me put on running clothes, as opposed to gym clothes, they start getting really feisty.  Bumping into the me, blocking the doors, following me around the house, and in general, reminding me not to forget to take them along.  And the amount of whining is astounding.  If you want a healthy dog, who is to tired to misbehave, this is the best plan I can think of.  My vet says, "a tired dog, is an obedient dog."  I have very much found that to be the truth.  The white one is very NAUGHTY, and running slowed her down, and gives her brain some much needed activity.  They are also healthy weights, and seem to have no health problems.  Anyhow that is LILLY and ZOEY, if you see us, stop and say hi!!
