Slugger is a 3.5 month old Shih Tzu. He is the cutest thing EVER. Really, I have a new love interest. He is a special dog and he loves his new parents. The thing is he loves his new parents so much that he doesn't like when they leave him. This has gotten in the way of my early morning runs.
I get up at 6:45 to let him out of his kennel to "go potty". That can take approximately 15 minutes. Then I feed the little guy...although he doesn't like what I feed him and starts to beg for something different. If he's lucky, I might have some left over scrambled eggs in the frige that I will mix in with his food. Then he wants to play, and/or will need to "go potty" again. If he doesn't get play or food he starts to bark, which will wake up the neighbors and his daddy. So I take him outside.
It's nearly 8am by the time I can even try to convince him to get in his kennel...okay, to be honest today is the first day I put him in his kennel so I could get my run in and move on with my day. Unfortunately lately my early morning runs have turned into late morning or early afternoon runs. I guess I should have considered getting a dog I could run with...
