Calorie Counting. Not.

Today, three Brackenridge Belles and two bitches walked through the park and the adjacent River Road neighborhood. The weather was perfect, and although the ladies didn’t really give us dogs much time for sniffing, Chica and I adored the outing anyway.

Ann clocked 3,457 steps taken in an hour’s time, equaling 1.534 miles. It was the first time she had used a pedometer app on her iPhone and she didn’t know to turn it off while the ladies savored some luscious almond croissants from the Olmos Park Bistro afterward. Hence the average mph came to a puny 1.6. I'm sure the calorie intake (not by us as the ladies shared nary a crumb with the canines) surely was way more than the calories walked off.

But who's counting? When Mary Lil mentioned the croissants’ richness at the Olmos Park bakery where she bought them, they came back with “but almonds are so good for you.” Just wish they'd said almonds were good for dogs, too.
