Denali is a runner. Of course, I didn't need to tell you that. You already knew.

But do you know why Denali is a runner? I mean, aside from the "he was bred to do it" thing?

Denali is a runner because it's the only way to work out his energy. He needs some serious exercise for at least 30 minutes, preferably 45, a day to get him good and wore out. Otherwise, he acts like a maniac. Running around the house, begging to be played with. He'll stop for a moment, crouched on all fours, as if to say, "Mom, you only walked me for two miles. I want MORE!"

And today, after walking with "Papa," he wanted more. A lot more, I'd say.
