Hands free

Recently I’ve been frustrated when I run, partly because I run with Royal and can’t move my arms naturally when I’m holding a leash. At the end of a run I tend to feel a little lopsided and my lower back is sore from running awkwardly with only one arm swinging. Yes, I’ll bet it was quite the sight to see. However, I found a solution: the belt leash!
Royal does a good job of not tugging me along, and while I have to take the end of it sometimes in my hand (particularly when we cross paths with humans or other canines), he’s been very nice about staying close. I say hooray for belt leashes and for running without looking like a fool!
Very cool, dear. How athletic you two are!
(hey, I spy an Amazon box…)
Sarah, I can’t imagine you looking foolish, but I’m glad you are more comfortable now! Royal is such a handsome partner!
He looks smaller here, doesn’t he? I think they call that forced perspective in the movie biz. Dear, you’re like tall Gandalf and Royal one of the hobits!
Nifty solution…{{{all my years of walking my dog and I never thought of that}}}…
Good idea, Sarah! Has that picture always been black and white? For some reason, I thought it was color to begin with.
um, Just for clarity- did you say WITHOUT looking like a fool? Anyway, I do like the idea! Now was this picture taken before or after your run? ‘Cuz “your boy” looks a little tired with his snout open, or maybe he’s just smiling for the camera! Happy running sis! hobbit
Rob: good eyes, all I noticed was the cat litter by the door. (what is hoBit?
)
oops, I accidentally left “hobbit” in my post; NOW who looks foolish… I was visualizing the word to see if I was the crazy one. But you do look like a giant Amazon next to smallish-looking Royal…
