We love the summer here in Bucks County, PA because Rex and I can take daily walks around the property! We average 2.5 miles per day. (Please note: Rex spends all day in his large outdoor paddock and walks in there throughout the day, in addition to our daily walks around the property.) Because our property is mostly wooded, many of the trails we've created for Rex aren't as manicured as the paths thru the garden, which have border walls made of tree trunks and logs. I haven't been able to build border walls around all the rougher trails yet, and there are times when I need to lift Rex to reposition or redirect him, or carry him a few feet out of the woods and back onto the trail, or lift him off a fallen limb or boulder that he can't quite navigate. I have read that torts don't like to be lifted, and over the years we've been very conscious of this. Sometimes it's necessary and as Rex has matured, lifting him becomes more of an ordeal, though I get a great workout in because Rex weighs in around 80lbs! I found these gloves to be incredibly helpful. The grip is wonderful and alleviates any safety and comfort concerns I had for both me and Rex. And they're real cheap!
