    That's awesome Irving!

    I tried doing that with mine, until she nearly killed me several times. She'd randomly stop to sniff something on the sidewalk, always directly in front of me. For the most part she was good though, tons of energy and helped me keep pace. I used keywords such as "lets go", "slow", "stop" and she was able to respond to them quite well. If she'd start bolting off, slow would get her to ease up a bit and focus on me.

    Spent the day packing up the garage, tossing out crap, and adding roofing cement around a conduit that was leaking (buyers inspection objections). Mother Nature then decided to help me test that repair with rain all day long. Seemed to hold just fine, so thats nice!

    Well, this dog is a keeper. Everything is great and she's a new part of the family. Plus, I've been running with her, and that is AWESOME. I don't know exactly how to train her up to running with me, as I'm sure that right now I have more endurance than her, but she's doing pretty well so far. Tonight she ran most of a mile with me at under 8 minutes. That's super fast for me.

    EDIT: I just input all the info, and it appears the pace is actually near 8.5 min/per mile. Disappointed.
    That's awesome dude. Dogs are the best.

    Yeah, it's been raining all day here. Flooded a bunch over I-25 down by Pueblo. I've never seen Colorado this green in August... I like it.
