Bunny here at the keyboard writing about my start on the Idita Walk.
The weekend is usually our time for adventure, but it wasn’t too adventurous for me. Friday, everybody said it was so cold that it was dangerous to be outside. So, on the first day of the Idita Walk, we had to stay home. Saturday, Küster and Dad were invited to speak to a group of people about Search and Rescue, and I wasn’t invited, although I think I could have showed them a lot about therapy dogs. After that, they went to training. When they went, they took Mom along and nearly froze her to death. It resulted in another day without a walk for yours truly.
On Sunday, I put my paw down and told Mom that we had to get cracking on our Idita Walk minutes. She agreed and we bundled up to combat the cold. Dad and Morgan weren’t as hearty as we, and stayed home to smell the meatballs that were cooking in the Crock Pot for the Super Bowl party they were going to later. I guess we know who is really dedicated around here.
It was a nice, sunny day and we saw our Boxer neighbors from down the street out walking, too. We took our usual route, and even though I like some variety on the weekends, it was nice to get back into our routine after missing it for a few days. We went up High Street and through the park. It was a lovely day for a walk. There was just enough snow to make things pretty, but not so much that it made it hard to walk.
I’m glad we got out and got started. It was cold, but it was also invigorating and we got a good start on our minutes. I know that it’s my responsibility to get Mom out there and moving, and it was nice to have her to myself for a little while. Now that we’ve made our first steps on the Idita Walk, I think the rest will come much easier. Sometimes, taking that first step is all you need.

Is that you in there Bunny? lol What a great challenge and getting Mom out there to take the first steps. Looks like you had a beautiful day for it despite the cold.
You did well to get mom out mate! Deccy x
You do look very warm iin your cute jacket and snood. Is all that snow cold on your little Princess feets?
Glad you got your mum out. Looks like a cold but nice sunny day.
I hope it warms up for you soon, Bunny. You need to visit us in Texas. We have our AC on.
Glad you were able to get started, Bunny. We are getting hammered with snow. Yuck! I like it, just don’t like the drive to work.
MOM and I started our first step on the Idita Walk on Friday and the on Saturday we got a lot on minutes in on Saturday. Keep after her Bunny. I sometimes have to do the same thing with my MOM.
Blessings,
Goose
Way to go Bunny in getting your mom to take you out. You sure look cute all bundled up.

I should’ve known your boxer neighbors would be out there. We don’t let anything get in the way of our walk! Grreat start, Bunny!
Congratulations on taking those important first steps. That coat and hood look wonderful and I hope they kept you warm enough. I can’t wait for spring! Keep up the good work.
Very stylish, Bunny! Glad you got out there and had your walk. Love the coat and snood…don’t you need some boots for your feet? You are so elegant!
Good job, Bunny!!! I know you will do well on your Idita-Walk challenge!
Brrrr, Bunny. Sometimes it works to give Mom the stink eye when she’s not wanting to go out. After all, you have an important challenge to meet!
I get cold just looking at these photos. Brr.
I think it would be cheating if we did the Idita-walk, since February and March are some of our nicest weather days.
You look so toasty warm Bunny. Mom might need a coat like yours to brave the cold
Snorts,
Benny & Lily
awww, bunny, you look so sweet all bundled up. but, boy, I sure hope it warms up for you soon. so hard to keep motivated when all you want to do is curl up under a blanket.
Bunny, you are just soooooooo pretty in your pink and grey coat! Glad you got to go out and enjoy a little me time with mommy. Yes, we know who the delicate ones are
Well done, you two!! And I have to say, I do love Bunny’s gorgeous navy and pink coat!
I’m sorry the weather is not cooperating. Stay beautiful bundled up and get out when you can!
Bunny,
We think it’s just awful that you didn’t get to go to Kuster’s event. Maybe it’s best after all – Maggie says you might have stolen his thunder – (whatever that means!) – because girls are always better than boys. Walker and I don’t think that’s true but Maggie made me type it.
We have a High Street in our neighborhood, too. We love walking on it and we did it today!
We have a question about that second photo. If that’s a bridge over a pond, why is the snow all the way up to the bottom of the bridge? Yikes!
Love,
Truly, Maggie and Walker
You look very warm in your snood.
I confess! I would rather have stayed home with the meatballs too!
I just love your pink coat Bunny! Good for you for getting out there and taking the first steps on the Idita walk!
I love your pink Jacket.
I am glad they didn’t actually freeze your Mom to death so you got to go for your walk! I was in LA vising my brother this past weekend. We hiked a couple of times for a total of about 4 hours. I technically signed ME up for the Idita-Walk so I toyed with the idea of tracking those numbers. However, the point of this challenge for me is to walk with Chester and Gretel so I am not going to “cheat”.
Great job getting started Bunny and Mom! You certainly do not have easy conditions at all to deal with so it’s super cool that you’re sticking to it!
