but I like to think that it is the yellow lab in her coming out. Old Gray Beard is what Andy calls Laney these days. It does seem like she has a new nickname every other day. Laney-Mae, Lane, Wane, Waney, Lane, Andy also calls her Little ______ and the blank is filled in with whatever nickname he has given me at that moment. Laney is a great dog but she has been giving us some grief lately. Probably it is our fault but come on Lane can you give us one full night of sleep?
So here in lies the problem. Since Andy and I started our marathon (you know I can't go too many post without mentioning the marathon) training our runs have been on the long side to put it mildly. During the week we have been running 5 one day, 8 the next and the 5 after that. All of this gets followed up with some crazy long run on the weekend. Our days off consist of resting or going to the gym to lift some weights. This means that we have not been able to take the Princess Pup on any runs. We try to get her out of the house at least once a week to swim or something, but sometime she just has to live with us kicking a soccer ball for her in the backyard, she is just like her mother isn't she ;) ,or a ride in the car to the store. We have not be the best parents to her when it come to her exercises and we feel so bad. Guess how she has been paying us back? She has been waking up at like 4-5 am and wanting to go outside where she proceeds to bark at who knows what! Are you kidding me, I am sure that your neighbors love us right now.
So tonight is the first night that we are back to running Laney's length of a run. 3 miles is usually the max that we like to run her because she is getting older, 9 in December! So Laney and I will venture out tonight for her first run in like forever. So if you are out on Cherokee Blvd tonight and you see me coming, stop me and say hi, Laney will love you for the chance to take a quick break I am sure!!!!
Here is our little Gray Beard.
