A day in the life of a lazy dog. My Actifit Report Card: May 1 2026

Typically you hear me talking about how I get my steps throughout the day. Which usually involves walking the dog morning and evening. Getting some steps from housework. Get some more steps from going to the gym. A few more steps from shopping and at the end of the day I tell you about the 14K steps that I got today.

But today I'll chronicle the dog's life. Yes, you always see him walking with me. Sniffing (or eating) grass. Trying to find goose "treats" to eat. Occasionally trying to pick a fight with another dog and sometimes, just sometimes , digging in a big snowpile.

You might think I have an active dog. He used to be. However, now he has turned into a house sloth.

Where do I find him in the morning?

Fast asleep on the big couch. His favorite place to lie down and get a good nights rest. However, still close enough to the window or door should an intruder, car, or pedestrian come by and need a stern barking at.

After the morning walk?

Time for some nutrition for the day. Plus some hydration. Important to get those carbs for the mid morning rest.

Time to go to the loveseat to rest and relax. Relieve all the tension and stress from not being able to chase squirrels during the morning walk.

After relaxing time for the all important siesta.

After all the evening walk is coming and it is important to be in peak restful state in case any small vermin need chasing or other dogs need to be warded away from my owner!

Then after the evening walk and additional nutrition its time to go into power down mode. The low energy sentry guarding the front room and mom's china cabinet.

Need to ensure I have maximum energy reserves in case I need to defend the house :)

After that? Time to wake up and annoy my humans as they are watching TV. Time to get them away from excess relaxation by forcing them to play tug of war, play fight, or tug of war (my repertoire is limited).

Then the day is over. Time for my evening rest along with my humans so they can sleep peacefully ... Unless I turn on the light to go chase possible people at the front entry door.

Thanks for dropping by.

Until tomorrow
