January 11, 2010: Day 40 - back to longer walks

On Saturday I tried taking Winston around the block for three of our four walks.  He didn't seem overly sore, so we did it again on Sunday and then again today.  I think we've officially moved to this distance/time.  About time!  On Wednesday we reach the six-week milestone and we're supposed to start increasing walk time/distance again.  It seems like our progress is slower than last time, but I think that the weather is definitely a factor at times.  Not only the weather, but the roads must be considered.  The county budget must have tightened up because our street doesn't get plowed during the snowstorms anymore.  The street to the west side of our property does.  The snowpack and then ice is slick at times and we don't want Winston to slip and fall.
