Walking Tip:
Walk Your Dog and You'll Both Lose Weight

The National Institute of Health reports that 64% of Americans are obese. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that 25% of dogs and cats in the Western Hemisphere are overweight. A study done at the Bassett Research Institute in Cooperstown, New York found that people who walk regularly with their dogs lose weight more weight than those that don't. You and I know all this, but still we walk the dog out to the front walk and back (approximately 50 feet round trip) instead of "over the river and through the woods" (words from Robert Frost's wonderful poem. Did you know there is a Robert Frost Trail you can walk?). Leash up Pooch and get walking for happier, healthier hearts and bodies in both of you.
