Almorr's neighbours dog Holly

This is Holly, my neighbour's dog, I take her a 30 minute walk every day at 2 o'clock even like today when I ran a 10K earlier, Holly is quite a strong dog and as my neighbour has a slight heart problem he doesn't mind me taking Holly walkies.

Beautiful Holly! She looks suitably tired out from her walk. Kind of you to look out for your neighbour.

I agree she is a beautiful dog, one thing is remarkable, she never barks at other dogs when I take her walks even when other dogs bark at her.

That’s good, doing your neighbour a favour and good excuse to go for a walk too 😀

It gets me out a walk at 2, when I come back at 2.30 I always enjoy a cake and coffee.

Beautiful dog AlMorr, it's great getting out for walks as well as runs 🐕🐕

Indeed, I enjoy taking Holly out for walks, sometimes she wants to run and I run along with her always on a lead.

I have a very good arrangement with my neighbour.

Love this Al. Well done first and foremost on the 10k! How was it?

Lovely that you take Holly for a daily walk especially being a large breed. You are certainly keeping fit.

The 10K went very well indeed this morning GTFC, I started at 8.05 to avoid the heat, I saw two other runners, one was running in the opposite direction wearing a 10K T shirt, the other runner passed me running at around 58 minutes 10K pace, as he overtook me he said, "you are doing well, keep going" it's so nice that quicker runners say nice things to the likings of me not running as fast. 😊 🏃🏾

I don't mind taking Holly out for a walk even on the same day as I ran a 10K in the morning.

That's so very kind of you AlMorr. I have three dogs that I walk early morning. They need the exercise as much as humans do. I'm sure Holly looks forward to 2 o'clock and can even sense your footsteps as you near her home.

She does sense my footsteps but never barks at me as she does at other people like the postman or other people delivering goods to the house.

You have three dogs, it must be very nice going those walks especially early in the morning.

Aww what a sweetie! 🐕 And how lovely of you to help your neighbour out Al. ❤️

She definitely is a sweetie, Holly cost my neighbour £2,000, she was a present at Christmas a few years ago for my neighbours Autistic son.

👍 🏃🏾 I enjoyed my 6th 10K this morning and my walk with Holly in the afternoon.

What I call a bonus doggy walk in the afternoon after a 10K run in the morning.
