Fitbitting with "Man's Best Friend" (upload dog photos here)

[rightdx]

We live in "Steinbeck country" (Salinas Valley/Monterey County), named after the famous author John Steinbeck. And just as Steinbeck documented his journeys with his beloved dog in "Travels with Charlie", I'm going to photojournal in this thread my "Travels with Melody".

A lot has changed in Salinas since the days of Steinbeck. But some things haven't changed that much. Today we visited the childhood home of Steinbeck, which has been restored to its original beauty.

Down the street from the Steinbeck House is the Steinbeck Public Library, with a bronze statue of the author at the front entrance. I don't think Melody's ever seen a statue before. At first she was puzzled that he didn't greet her - or even flinch one little bit.

Then she surprised me and became downright ornery!

So I took her back to to dog training school for some proper obedience training. Of course, she passed with flying colors.

Please share photos of your fitbitting friends here!

Tilly

 My walking companion,Tilly, a Cavachon - cross King Charles Cavalier with a Bichon First.  We live near Hornsea in the East Riding of Yorkshire,  England. 

Our usual walk is along the promenade and a run on the beach. Tilly likes to jump waves in the sea.

I like to swim in the Leisure centre pool.

Either way, walking or swimming, I love that my Fitbit Flex 2 records my activity.

@BaltoscottI remember when you got Callie! They sure look like they are great friends. Great Pic of them both!

[Pyknyk]

Thank you.

She's getting a little chunkier so it will be good when we have lighter nights and can maybe fit two walks in.

maybe by then ill be able to keep my eyes open beyond 7.40pm!

Hi,

Your dogs are beautiful! I had a cocker spaniel that I would do this type of training with.

She was the best. Hiking, biking everything with her. She recently passed. Hoping to get

another in the near future. Dogs are one of the best ways to stay fit.

@Sjea I like the "why you stopping"  pic.  Pretty much the attitude my dogs always have!

I'm new to Fitbit, but my lovely little mutt Lola has been my favorite hiking companion for years! Great post, thanks everyone for sharing!

Dogs are the best for hiking. Every single one of them, lo.
