This article is most timely for me, Stephen. I am thinking about getting another dog (our last one died about 10 years ago) after I retire in May. Given that the little regular exercise I get involves walking to class, I'm thinking that perhaps having a dog to walk will force me to at least do a little walking. Of course, that prospect loses some of its appeal when I look out the window & see my neighbor walking his shih tsus in the cold, slush, snow, and rain while carrying a little plastic bag of dog feces.
