Exercise | Journey | Act
This prompt is part of the 'Thankful for' series. Unfortunately any meaningful exercise is out for me at the moment while I wait for two partial tears in my hamstring to heal. I had a PRP injection last Friday and am hoping that it does the job and I can get back into doing some exercise again, and soon. I'm taking it really easy though at the moment, and not even taking the dogs for their morning walk - which I am missing big time. My early morning walks are one of my favourite parts of the day. I'm so looking forward to getting back to running, weights and my ballet classes.
Zimi absolutely loves chasing the water out of the hose, which often makes watering the plants a challenge. I'm trying to get him to differentiate between the 'shower' setting which is for when I am watering and he has to leave it alone, and the 'jet' setting which is when he can play. Not terribly successful so far, and worse if he hasn't had his morning exercise as he has all this pent-up energy to use.
I've been watering to try to keep a small amount of grass around the patio area alive, mainly to stop it from going back to dirt and then blowing in through the house. Of course Zimi thought this was great fun, so I roped Steve into playing with Zimi so I could get some action shots; just a bit difficult to do solo. However Zimi wasn't playing as well with Steve (or maybe Steve wasn't playing well with Zimi) so I didn't get to take very many. The top two photos show Zimi in the process of leaping up to catch the water and all legs are in the air in the second photo - which according to the daily CY365 email is the ideal shot.

Steve took over camera duties so that I could encourage Zimi to play more (which he did). I'm not quite sure exactly why Zimi likes this but he seems to derive great pleasure out having the hose on his face and in his mouth. Misty, our previous German Shepherd also loved chasing the water coming out of the hose, but Bella shows no interest whatsoever.
