April 27, 2013- Today, I'm introducing to you another "business" partner, and best friend of mine, a canine. His name is Candycane.
Candycane, is a black lab/ chow mix. He is 13 years old (yet once again, he doesn't think he's older than a puppy!) Candycane came to me way of an (I must admit it as well)....I walked into a pet store, and although I HIGHLY suggest you go to your local shelter and adopt and rescue a dog that needs a home there.....I ended up with Candycane, and whether it was against my best judgement to do so or not, we have been together since he was 6 months old and ever since. And have not regretted the move since.
(Although, I do not support puppy mills! And support visiting you local animal shelters first and foremost!)
Anyway, moving on....Candycane and I have also become running partners, we ran in pack together at our local trails, and on local roadways. Candycane has even joined Skyler and myself at a few races.
Candycane, is a protector and has taught me to be discerning when it comes to who to embrace and who to be weary of. (He still is teaching me of course! Dogs have a sixth sense, oh wait that may be their seventh sense....on knowing who is good vs who is dangerous.....they can actually sniff it out, we on the other hand have to hone in our skills a bit more to do so!)Candycane, has also helped in the dogpark establishing process.
As you can see from the photo above, he teaches great oral hygiene and reminds me to brush and floss after every meal. He teaches me to be considerate and playful.
