I’ve talked about my sweet little dog Jimmer (AKA Jim, Jimmy, J-Dog) a lot on this blog.
I love him so so so much! He truly is like my 6th child. 😉
Jimmer joined our family about 2 1/2 years ago when he was just 6 weeks old.
The picture on the left was taken on the day we brought Jimmer home. The picture on the right was taken when he was a few months old. Jim is 3/4 Yorkie and 1/4 Chihuahua, otherwise known as a “Chorkie”, and is just as sweet as he can be.
I grew up with dogs and have been a dog lover all my life! I just think they are the sweetest animals in the whole wide world. Jimmer is so obedient, gentle and loyal, but he’s also extremely protective of the kids. He only weighs 7 1/2 pounds, but he likes to think he’s a lot bigger than that!
Jimmer loves our family fiercely (the feeling is mutual!) and he loves to be with us wherever we may be.
Whether I’m trying to get a workout in….
Going on adventures with the kiddos…
Or just doing laundry. He just loves to be with us.
He also LOVES to curl up in a little ball and snuggle next to me or Kevin. I love it!
One of Jimmy’s all-time favorite things to do is to go on a run with me. He gets so excited when I pull out his leash and ask, “Do you wanna come, Jim?”
Needless to say, Jimmer and I were both excited to hear about the Purina® Pro Plan® Leash On Challenge!
The challenge started on September 30th and ends November 13th. It encourages owners to be more active with their dogs and go out on a walk or run as often as possible. When you sign up for the challenge, you will be entered in to win prizes too.
You can also join the Purina® Pro Plan® Fitness Group, which allows you to log each walk or run with your dog and track your progress, including distance and calories burned. You are also entered in for prizes each day that you enter in a walk or run!
So fun!
So, if you have a dog and want some additional incentive to exercise and spend more time with your dog, go ahead and sign up! Your dog will be so glad you did!
Purina® ProPlan® has partnered with MapMyFitness and created the Purina® ProPlan® Fitness Group Page to get pet owner’s more active with their dogs. Check out the Fitness Group page here and start getting active with your dog today!

Purina Pro Plan is a great organization. They sponsor the boxer rescue group that I volunteer with and donate food and supplies for the rescues every year. I didn’t know about this program but will definitely share it with my group.

Oh, that’s so great to hear! I love companies that really try to make a difference. I’ve really loved this fun “Leash On” challenge too!
