My fiance and I do not get much exercise with full-time office jobs, and our dog remains bored and hyperactive because it is cooped up in the house all day. Walking the dog after dinner in our neighborhood will help expend energy and provide adventure for our dog, and it will keep me and my fiance fit and healthier. We can bring umbrellas or jackets for rain and flashlights for safety.

I will be in better shape with the daily exercise. The dog will be in better shape, burn off excess energy and become calm. My relationship with my fiance will strengthen, and I can apply this towards other family members. Also, by walking every night around the neighborhood, I will become acquainted with my neighbors and reinforce the sense of community.
