Another laundry day is here as soon as I get up and going. Then it looks like it could be dry for my walk after.

Puppy-wuppy takes me for a walk nearly every day, whether I want to or not. Sometimes, if I'm pressed for time or when I was on serious chemo, it' s short (a few houses down, and back). But lately I've been doing the more usual appx 0.4-0.5 miles. Puppy picks the route, so it varies. In summer I try to go earlier b4 it gets too blastedly hot.
Do you go at the same time? How far/long do you walk? Different routes?
I used to love to walk until I developed a pain syndrome. Now sometimes I just grit my teeth.

I hope so. I know we had our differences, but it's weird not hearing anything from her for so long.

I hope clearing the computer does the trick. I was surprised to learn that the computer adjusts operating parameters away from the factory setting for optimum pollution control, and saves them on an ongoing basis.
Yeah. Me too.
It's kind of cool that the computer can adjust things like that based off of sensor output, especially when the car is getting pretty long in the tooth. As much as I rail on the state for putting only SOME people through this every two years, the exhaust system does play a pretty sizable role in how good your car performs.

A puppy!! How lovely and crazy making at the same time. My poor old dog is 15 and struggling with life - he’s still enjoying his food but the steps around the house are killers for him- poor sweet.
After a long rather lovely Summer and Autumn - the weather has taken a wintry turn. It would be mild for many of you - especially Brenda- frankly I can’t imagine living somewhere that cold. But I’m bunkered down with essays so it’s not much of an issue. I’m lucky enough to be close to forest where I can walk most days

I try to go out the same time unless I have early appointments for the dentist like in a couple of weeks. Mostly I walk the same route unless I am really bored and decide I need to see something else.
I'm usually out a couple of hours but that also includes a stop for coffee and a bite to eat. *L*.

The many splendors of North America.
Different areas can get different degrees of cold Magnon. I wouldn't mind a walk through a forest or a walk along the beach. Too awkward for me to get to such places without my own car.

As long as your dog still enjoys food, s/he wants to live. When animals lose their interest in food, they're in the dying process.
Is the problem pain, or a combination of things? I have some dog-walking friends and they are SERIOUS dog-lovers, and they had an old dog that was born deaf and had, by 16, developed heart failure, a seizure disorder (that I think was more or less continuous bc the dog cocked it's head all the time, which may have come from a disturbance in an occipital lobe interfering with a field of vision .. more about that in a bit) and painful joints. So they kept him going on heart medication and anti-convulsants (which made the dog dopey but didn't correct the head-cocking) and pain pills. But someone ... it may have even been the vet ... put them on to CBD oil, and when I saw the dig afterwards he was moving more freely and his head was straight. Eventually they had to euthanize the dog bc heart failure but they made his life as enjoyable as they could while he was alive.
Anyway... CBD oil maybe?
Our dog isn't really a puppy but she acts like one: still very active and playful (after I adjusted her diet). Poor "puppy" is living with a couple of oldsters who can't keep up with her!
If you're that close to a forest that you can walk there, I can see why fire would be a big concern.
Altho grass fires can be devastating too. I once saw a picture of a car that got swept y a grass fire... there was literally a shiny puddle of molten metal underneath. All that from burning GRASS???
