      I started doing it for my dog but with the added bonus of it also being good for me. Then I started losing weight even though I didn't change anything else. I just stopped being a couch potato for 15 min twice a day. Who knew it was that easy?

      Why does my being have to be well though? Can't I be fine and also a decrepit horrible miserable bitch at the same time? Why does life have to be so haaaaaaaaard.

        Get a mixed breed dog that you think is a lazy lapdog that is actually a highly energetic terrier. That was my motivation to start walking. Less things destroyed 😩

          If I could afford it I would love to. I feel sort of incomplete without a dog. Had one for so much of my life. But it's not remotely something I could afford at the moment. My roommate has a cat and that thing is bad enough. Unfortunately that cat also is very independant. I love her but I don't think the feeling is mutual lol

            I hear you on that. They’re pricey and needy things. I’ve been around a lot of cats and I know how you feel on that 😂. I wanted less pets but ultimately lost the battle on that!
