Pickles by Brian Crane for October 24, 2024

Roscoe enjoyed that one!

yes it does if you do it often enough

Roscoe in this sequence is great!

wonder how many calories you burn leaning over the back of the sofa

Sure it does, consider all the weight he has to carry around.

That’s what I was gonna say!

“Well there’s also OPENING THE DOOR you know.”

Depends on how many times a day he takes the walk.

don’t forget the exercise you get just getting up out of the chair.

And then they’re the walk to the kitchen counter to make the sandwich, the walk back to the fridge to put the ham and cheese back, the walk to the sink to drop the dirty dishes for the wife to clean…

According to my smart watch, walking to and from the fridge counts.

Well, and since when do women think, Opal?

I’m sorry, but I draw the line at personal attacks.

I mean, sometimes I’m watching TV upstairs. Up and down, every single time I need another beer, and/or salted snacks.

By the end of the day, I feel kinda dizzy and light-headed, not to mention somewhat sleepy.

He’s excercising his eyes reading the paper, Opal!

The obligation to walk is a great benefit of having a dog

Well maybe he should start doing some 12 ounce curls

It depends upon how far the fridge is from the couch. Three-quarters of a mile would mean a mile and a half walk, round trip, whenever you wanted a cold one.

All kidding aside, for us older folks, “Motion is Lotion”.

Whenever I feel like exercising I just lie down until the feeling goes away.

It doesn’t? Could have fooled me.

I wonder what his step count is

It’s not walking TO the fridge that’s the problem… its what you carry away.

It counts as a stand!,!

Interval training is much better than walking at a steady pace.

Always love that Roscoe laugh.

Roscoe reaps the benefits from the snacks

Try something original.

Oh no! I’ve been doing it all wrong?

Even the DOG’S laughing at THAT one

At least Roscoe has a good sense of humor!

lets fix that then… lets make sure the fridge is running. ;)

Yea, but combine that with trips to the bathroom, and HE’s covered some ground!

Looks like a slow day there.

Time to start taking a daily walk down to the doughnut shop.

Jax Dog lies up against me like that. But if my wife goes to another room he will jump up and follow. He feels he must protect her everywhere.

Roscoe heard the word and is raring and ready to go.

Then you might as well move the couch into the kitchen. You’ll be able to keep an eye (nose) on the fresh cookies as well.

Just LOVE Roscoe’s reactions‼️

DOES TOO!!! – best thing about my new house is it’s twice as far from the fridge to the bedroom as it was in the old house. 10,000 steps a day bro!!

But I’m sure he also walks to the bathroom (a lot)

Me too, that’s about all I get then there is the trip to the bathroom and back.

sure it does – not much, but it does

My minimum number of steps per day is 4500, that includes walking to the fridge for water, snacks, iced tea, leftovers… and I’m hungry.

It doesn’t?

That is as far as I can walk.. barely. So it is exercise!

to be fair, there’s those trips to the bathroom too!

Well, Opal, he might’ve got something healthy out of it like an apple or a glass of milk or something. You ever think of that?

You walk your way and I’ll walk mine.

UHOH! More bad news…..

Slow day, Crane?

So husband was out of town on an Honor Flight to DC and texted me to ask what I’d been doing. Told him I’d gone for a mile walk because the weather was beautiful. His reply, “On purpose!” It actually did make me laugh. Need to walk more.

I need to get motivated and do my long walk this morning.

Mind your business….starting to sound like June Drabble…
