So I cheated a little today: I only took Oskar out. It is only 5:21 though, so Bugsy still has a chance...
My case: I got up very early this morning to go on a run. Oskar got up with me. He followed me around the house as I got ready, so I started to consider the possibility of taking him. The thing is, Oskar will run, Bugsy won't. While I was debating if I should bring Oskar, Bugsy got out of bed to see what all the commotion was about. This is because Oskar starting his excited wiggle dance-which is very loud and includes some whimpering-so Bugsy needed to investigate, lest he be left out. I told Bugsy to "go back to bed" and he did, so I decided to take Oskar.
He made about two miles. Bugsy would have crapped out at the end of the block.
So, while the goal is to take the dogs out everyday, the point is to have more quality time with them. Running is something Oskar rarely gets to do, simply because Bugsy cannot. So, in that sense, I think it does count. Bugsy has also taken to sleeping on my pillow and kicking me all night as he tries to find a comfortable position, so I'm not too worried about him feeling loved.
