For about a month now we’ve been taking our two dogs, Babbage and Pascal, on daily walks after their 6:30am feeding and drugging (Pascal has diabetes and needs insulin twice a day, Babbage has atopic dermatitis and is prepping for a Pfizer drug study at the University of Minnesota). Even more recently, I’ve started carrying a GPS receiver with us and recording the different tracks we take around our neighborhood. Honestly, when we moved in to the Bryn Mawr area, we had no idea just how many wonderful routes we could walk right from our home.
Here’s where we went today. It was 3.16 miles and took 1:17 to complete. This is one of our longer walks since it’s Sunday and we haven’t been able to walk for the last few days due to raw paws on Babbage.
I had just been documenting the tracks on a separate page of this blog, but decided that since it’s become such a large part of my daily routine, it deserves main page treatment. If it bothers you, good reader, having posts of our walking route every day, let me know and I’ll relegate it to the back pages once again.

Love it. Unfortunately, our walks with the dogs would be the same route every day.
