Too Hot To Walk

We are well into summer and it is hot and humid here in Florida.  Nothing that isn’t typical of this time of year, but it is still super hot.  Because of the heat, we have had to adjust our walks.  Our normal schedule is to go for a short walk at lunch time, a short walk before dinner and a long walk after dinner.  This has been a good schedule for the boys and it seems to work well with Luna.  The three walks get the gang their necessary exercise which makes for happy and well behaved pugs.  However, since it has been so hot lately, we don’t dare venture out for our midday or before dinner walk.  Instead we take a long walk in the morning around 6:30 AM and another long walk in the evening around 9 PM.  Everyone loves the 9 PM walk, but the morning walk is another story.  At that time in the morning, everyone is snuggled under the covers and none of them have any interest in going for a walk.  However, by the time we hit the end of the driveway, they are their happy little selves and ready to go on their trot around the neighborhood.
