Hi,

Max and Bella
I have two dogs: Max and Bella. Although they are brother and sister, they differ so much. Max is white; Bella is black. Max is silent; Bella is loud. Max likes being petted; Bella likes being played with. Two different dogs, but I love them both. And what they do share is, they both like long walks. Once or twice a week I take them to the forest. After two hours and 10 or so kilometers of walking in the mountainous terrain, they're the happiest dogs on earth: tired and dirty, but happy.
I wish I could take them for such walks more often, but I can't. Don't worry, though: they're not spending the rest of the week in the house, lying on their blankets. They're out for around 3-5 hours a day, so they can run wherever they want and how much they want. Often, though, they lie down in front of the house and look in the window with a clear message in their eyes: "Oh, come on, do you really have anything better to do?"
Sometimes, I'm trying to wonder what their lives would have looked like if they had lived in a block of flats in a big city... I just can't imagine that. I'm not saying dogs in cities are unhappy. But seeing how Max and Bella love our house and its surroundings and the forest and the walks and all, I am pretty sure they would not appreciate a big city. Lucky them!
