Even that doesn’t happen quite as much this time of year, but I dread to think how much I would weigh if I didn’t have dogs. Oh, and then there’s the getting up to walk to the window or door to see what they’re barking at…which is usually nothing. I’m glad to think they’re just looking out for my health!

Ducky’s favorite exercise for us is a game of chase in the back yard. I throw the small Kong Bounzer across the yard for her to go fetch and then she turns it into her favorite game. Callie likes to play keep away, too; but she’s easier to catch than Ducky. Shadow likes fetch.

I also do a lot of walking around our property to gather the Pullers and throw them around for the dogs (arm/shoulder work out).

Sometimes she pushes us, sometimes we push her. We are one great team!

Dante and Ziva will bounce off the walls nuts if we don’t get a good exercise in, so they help keep me in shape because I can’t slack off or else punishment means an eaten rug!

Haley loves to help with stretching exercises when I get on the floor. She runs to get a toy and enjoys trying to play keep away with my feet or just growls and tempts me to grab her toy. Very relaxing, haha!

When it is bedtime, Jimmy “pretends” he’s too tired to manage the stairs to bed. So I carry his 34 (probably 35 due to reduced activity) pound bulk up the stairs. Arms and legs get a workout! On movie night, it’s a two flight workout as the big screen is in the basement. And because we aren’t getting as much time outdoors, we play “ring around the pool table”, Jimmy running, Wilson and me chasing. There is also indoor fetch in the basement as well. It involves lots of tugging so more arm work-outs. Then of course there is the weekly agility class, lots of walking/running.

That sounds like a lot, but I feel so out of shape right now!

Very cool to read about your personal trainer pup 😉 Our two pups Missy & Buzz keep me agile, for sure ~ I’m retrieving their toys that have been stuck under couches or other pieces of furniture on a daily basis!
