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!

Spring is a great time of year to get outdoors.  Bring your dogs and camera (or phone), snap some photos and share with the group!

One of our favorite trails is overgrown with wildflowers, but melody doesn't seem to mind.

I love dogs and what a beautiful fellow is Pixie, @wannabelf. 

This is my trustworthy, so polite buddy and a great companion when I'm running. His name is Richter and actually he is adopted. His mother gave birth and all the puppies were living in an abandoned car. Some of them were dying but they were rescue and I kept this guy. Now is healthy and strong as a buffalo.

Nice paw, Richter!    And what a story, @RobertoME

Yes, thank you ... The Fitbit is for her ... She could do with shedding a few pounds LOL

Summer doesn't look too heavy @immortalis.  But lucky for both of you that fitbit is turning into more walks!

[immortalis]

Summer says thank you ... But sadly she is about 5 kg overweight ...
She is our first non rescue saluki .. As we don't go to dog shows we picked the 'runt' of the litter .. A few health problems have been overcome and due to this she has eaten a lot of treats. She also was a helper for our rescued very old saluki .. And she would eat his dinner that he left .. We lost him to old age last year, but she is reluctant to go out since we lost him. So the kg that should have been lost are sticking to her hips and ribs ..:)
