Husky, dog-walking...what a nice correlation :-)
Good on you Husky. Yeh, know what you mean about broke, drinking or not! And yes, you're quite right: when people talk about taking up hobbies, well, even gardening / painting / drawing etc costs money. Dammit :-)
Anyway, I look forward to being regaled by some of your dog-walking descriptions and stories. The best parts of my days are when I'm with my dog (blue heeler- border collie) at the dog park, down at the beach, or at the other parks around the area. Oh, and when I'm playing hard-core with her just at home inside with her toys.
PS I had a Malamute, many years ago, and have met a few Mals and Huskies at our various haunts. Brilliant dogs.
