"Mutts are different from other dogs. Truth be told, they are more like people than they are animals. Mutts look at the world through squinted eyes, eyes that have seen it all, too many times. They are impressed by little; canine Bogarts, a sneer on their lips, they have their own sense of flair, play, of dignity. The heart of a mutt is the heart of a lion, showing the hubrid vigor that makes him stronger than the sum of his component parts!!!" (pg. 7, Just Mutts by Steve Smith & Gene Hill) Let' …

"This group is for people exciting about walking and losing weight at the same time. I started this group to get people moving again. Ten thousand steps are approximately five miles of walking during the day. Research shows that tracking your steps will insure your weight loss management success. Average person in USA generally move only 2000-3000 steps a day. Previous studies have shown that moving 6000 steps a day significantly reduces risk of death, and 8000-10000 a day promotes weight loss. …

Join us for twice weekly hikes that alternate among four fairly standard routes. Typically, we take the same hike twice weekly, three of which are along the mountains-to-sea trail, running alongside the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville. Once a month, we go on a hike among the 25 miles of hiking trails within the campus of Warren Wilson College. We focus on weekday hikes, with occasional weekend jaunts. Because we do the same hike twice each week and then repeat it every fifth week, the emphasis …

The point is to get out of the house and mov …

This group is for puppies, dogs, and owners! I wanted to start this community because there is lack of dog meetup groups in the area. This group will also be for organized dog walks and other fun activities with our pups. Also, if we can get a few people organized we could do some volunteer work.

Is your dog not able to enjoy the dog park because of rough-housing puppies? Does your dog's idea of playtime mean walking around smelling stuff? Mine too! I started this group because my dog loves other dogs but being old and blind he gets scared when they want to jump around and play. This group is for anyone with a dog that likes to socialize with other dogs but needs gentle interaction due to age, disability, size or disposition.

Looking to start a walking group.
