The Daisy Exercise Program

I noted that today Daisy went and stood on the treadmill three times. She waited for me to come over and turn it on. Amazing! I let her walk on it the second and third time at a little slower pace - not knowing a dog's physiologic limits on a treadmill. She walked about 10 minutes each time. I stopped the program - she would have continued but again, I want to make sure to keep her liking the treadmill and it to be a healthy thing.

I admire Daisy for her dog-smarts - it is a good idea to walk on the treadmill several times a day at a non-frantic pace. I should take a lesson from her. 5 minutes a couple times a day shouldn't be too hard to fit in, should it?
