Weird Walking Pets
Posted on 31. May, 2010 by LynThomas in Humour
Walking your pet is not only great fun and exercise, but it is also a great way to bond with your pet and socialize your animal, as well as decrease your pet’s boredom with the day to day routine.
RSPCA Tasmania, Australia, says physical inactivity ranks second only to tobacco smoking in terms of the burden of disease factors.
The annual direct health care cost attributable to physical inactivity is estimated to be around $377m, and physical inactivity is associated with about 8,000 preventable deaths each year in Australia, alone.
Obesity in pets is associated with a number of medical complaints including osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, liver disease and insulin resistance.
“Pets love to spend time with you and check out the sights and smells. They will really look forward to spending time with you,” says the RSPCA website. “There’s nothing like an exercise partner who’s waiting by the door, to keep you motivated.”
However, we doubt that the RSPCA had these pets in mind.

Now there are some pets you simply want to give a wide berth to. One of these for its razor sharp teeth. The other for its unpredicable perfume letting.
Then finally, it’s really too far to walk. Don’t you think we’d be much better waiting for the next train?
