Pascha the border collie was a couch potato this winter and put on a few pounds.

So her personal trainer got her going on the tread mill…
and we are now ready to hit the road running. Agility classes start soon. Woohoo!
Meanwhile, Roxy and Mr. Stubbs also think about exercising…

Someone seems to be missing the point!
According to a study at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, people and dogs who exercised together, lost weight and tended to keep the weight off because they stuck to a routine.

Now we can walk by cats, other dogs and the school yard. We also like to stop by the lumberyard to watch the forklift. (This might be a lab thing).
