A Typical Weekday Run

During the week, after work, J likes to go down to the dock where he has installed a fish feeder to fish.  It's about a mile and a half from the house.  He always wants me to hang out with him while he is fishing but I want to get my workout in.  So, J drives down to the dock and I figure out a course and distance for my run that afternoon that will end me and Ruger at the dock.

I have come to learn that it does not matter how far we do or don't run nor how fast, Ruger is going to have massive amounts of energy and make a bee-line for the lake when we get there.

Even after all that running, he is full of energy to play in the water.  I drink my bottle of water and use the plastic bottle as a toy for him to chase and swim after...he is a retriever after all. =) So while J is fishing, I play with Ruger and let him swim in the lake.

        

At the end of all of that, we put him in the back of the truck and take him home.  We towel Ruger down while he runs around like a crazy dog and then let him have the towel to lay on until he completely dries.

That's when he finally 'passes' out and relaxes.
