“A person can learn a lot from a dog. My dog taught me about living each day with unbridled exuberance and joy, about seizing the moment and following your heart. He taught me to appreciate the simple things- a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in the shaft of winter sunlight. As he grew old and achy, he taught me about optimism in the face of adversity. Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness, and above all else, unwavering loyalty.†– John Grogan

Dogs are constantly teaching people very important lessons about living in the moment, jumping for joy and simply enjoying the journey. Their unconditional love sets forth the underlying lesson within every religion. Love. Is that not why all dogs go to heaven?

Joyously wagging their tails and thrilled to see us every time we return, they are able to warm our hearts and uplift our souls. Is that not what love does? Few dog lovers need convincing that their best friend brings health and happiness into their lives. What they may need convincing of is their daily fitness regimen.

Fitness has the tendency to be very motivating but not everyone is easily motivated to do it. Perhaps that’s why it is said that half of the battle is just showing up. Having a workout partner, perhaps even your best friend, can make showing up just a little bit easier. A little motivation coupled with some unconditional love can get you a long way in life. Whether you are looking to go for a quick walk, long jog or tackle a workout, incorporate puppy love into your daily workout grind with the Poo Doo Leash and of course the portable water bowl!
