Man's Best Motivator

So part my R&R since I've been home is going on walks and runs.  My running partner(s) are amazing motivaters...they have four legs, are covered in fur and are my two dogs.  My dog Molly is a genius.  She knows even when you are thinking about going on a run or walk.  This morning I was going to try to sneak out without her but she knows...

I woke up, checked the weather (humidity of 91% :P ), changed into my clothes and went to get my shoes which were up stairs.  I thought "If she is up there i'm just going to grab them, put them behind my back and put them on downstairs. (Have you ever tried to put on running shoes with an excited beyond belief dog dancing around your face?  It's hard! :) )  Anyway I saw her, went into the other room to get my shoes, put them behind my back so she couldn't see them and went down stairs to put them on and brush my teeth.  Soon I hear her "I know what you are doing and I want to come too" whines from the top of the stairs.  She sits there for a while and then they come down the stairs and are right outside my bathroom.  She goes into my room and sees no one then goes back up stairs.

After hearing these whines you just can't say no to her.  She is just the sweetest thing!  So after I got out of my bathroom i put on my shoes and decided since she is coming with me I might as well show the world the world's smartest dog.  Many times if my mom asks where I am going and I don't want to set off a reaction with Molly I have to say "I'm taking M for a W"  She knows walk and she knows w-a-l-k so you can't say those around her.  It's considered pure torture in our house and just cruel if you get her all excited and then don't take her for a walk.  In part of this video you can even hear my sister say "you are so mean" thinking I'm just video taping her for fun.



 Miss Molly also discovered car air conditioning on our drive to our running trail.  It was so cute, she kept putting her nose right on the vent! : )



Here are my superstars after our run...
