Shoes! Shoes! Shoes! How often do you walk your dog or dogs? Once a day, twice a day, three times a day or none at all? What shoes do you wear to walk your dogs? Like the ones above which is very practical and comfortable, a pair of flip flops or in malaysia we call in slippers, a pair of heels, very impractical or none at all? Well, I'm not here to talk about shoes but about walking your dogs. You may think that having a small dog, she or he does not need any exercise because they get enough exercise running around the condo unit. How wrong you are. Dogs like a change of environment. They need the exercise for their physical health as well as for their mind. Yes you heard me right, their mind. The brain is a muscle too. It needs stimulation, how they get that is by sniffing the grass, playing with their friends and even a new scenery. You see, when the muscle do not get exercised, it will waste away and in the case of the brain not being exercised, the dogs will develop dementia just like a human would. Not many people think about the brain as a muscle hence there are many dogs who gets dementia early in their life. So why not give your dog a better way of living and for yourself too. Walk him / her, exercise not only the physical muscles in the body for the both of you but also the brain muscle. Hopefully in sensible shoes!! :D
