Animal Planet spent the day with LYF

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Today Animal Planet spent the day with mommy and I.  They were filming a segment on “Small dogs that do BIG things!”  They liked the fact that I am so athletic and like to swim, hike, run, go mountain biking with mommy and most of all that I inspire other dogs to exercise with their mommy’s at our Leash Your Fitness classes.  They started the day interviewing Hollis since she has lost 35 lbs and Mango is now much more sociable than she used to be before starting to come to our classes. Then they went out paddle boarding with mommy and I.  That was the BEST part of the day as I got to go SWIMMING!!!  They took a lot of pictures of me jumping from the dock!! It was so fun!!  The day ended with them joining us during our Mission Bay class.  They  put a funny camera on Scooter–he was not digging those camera men one bit!!  All of the dogs kept barking at them–it was pretty funny!  But not as funny as Mango trying to attack the microphone because it looked like a furry animal!  It was a fun but very tiring day–it is tough work being a star!  Enjoy the pics!  We will let you know when the segment is available for viewing……..

R.I.P. Montana–you will be missed!

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Today was the saddest day in our Leash Your Fitness family.  Montana our grandpa dog that everyone loved was put to sleep forever.  He had lymphoma and woke up today unable to stand as it went to his spine.  Mommy had to carry him down the stairs and to class so that everyone could say good-bye to him.  We had a record attendance as all of his friends wanted to give him a kiss and pat on the head.  All of the mommy’s were crying and we even had 3 daddies come to class to say bye-bye.   Mommy was so proud of our Leash Your Fitness for pulling through in such a tough time. Thank goodness that Dr. Priti came to class and was able to do the sad deed of putting Montana to sleep after everyone was gone–she is the best vet ever as it was nice having a familiar face by our sides.   He got to have all of his favorites –popcorn, hotdogs, chicken and they even gave him a 3 musketeer bar–which was appropriate as me, Ginger and Montana were together till the end–the “3 musketeers!”  We will miss Montana so much and just so we wouldn’t ever forget him–daddy drew a portrait of him to hang on Miss Nancy’s wall.  We love you Montana and hope that you are running with the dogs in doggy heaven and eating as much popcorn as you can.   R.I.P.

Doga Yoga and Walk on the Water

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

What a BEAUTIFUL day for Doga Yoga on the water at the Em”bark”adero!  Tammy from “Find Your Sweet Spot Yoga” did a fine job of leading our Leash Your Fitness participants in the class.  We had 19 dogs in attendance and we collected 4 bags of donations for the Baja Animal Sanctuary and also gave them a portion of the proceeds from our class.   Fun was had by all and then we got to go to breakfast at Cafe Zucherro in Little Italy.  We kind of took over the place! Great way to start the day, we hope that you can join us next month on Sunday, July 25th for our next Doga Yoga class. Until then….

Enjoy the pics……

Grand Opening Event-Poway

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

Mommy had her Grand Opening event in Poway today! It was a little cool this morning, so it was the perfect weather to sample some of what we do in the Leash Your Fitness classes. The instructors even turned some of the drills into a competition and gave out some water bottles and t-shirts for winning. Denise from K9 Care by Denise was also there giving some massages to some of my friends and Meagan and Kelly were there from Collared Scholar dog training making sure all of the dogs were doing what they were told. It was so awesome seeing a bunch of new faces, and even some of the old.

Everybody who showed up today got a wonderful goodie bag full of treats, thanks to some of our sponsors. Everybody who showed up also got a raffle ticket to win some awesome prizes, like some free Leash Your Fitness classes, treats, haircuts, massages, toys, and all sorts of amazing things. If one of the people brought anything to donate to the Baja Animal Sanctuary, they got an extra raffle ticket! The group was able to raise $60 and a bunch of towels, leashes, and food for the shelter.

Thanks to our sponsors for donating to today’s event: Markim Pet Resort, Cutting Edge K9 Rehab, Ciao Bella Hair, K9 Care by Denise, The Honest Kitchen, The Collared Scholar, and The Buried Bone

Poway classes will happen on Thursday evenings at 6:00 pm at the Garden Road Park (map). Sign up for it on our website! Hope to see you there!

Arthritis Foundation Training at Kate Sessions

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Today was another action packed Leash Your Fitness Arthritis Foundation training class. We had class at Kate Sessions Park in Pacific Beach and mommy took advantage of all of the hills. She had the gals doing hill repeats with abdominal exercises in between. They were working hard! The girls are getting a lot stronger and having a good time doing it! I must say–they look like they are shrinking too–losing lots of weight! The dogs were crazy–mommy slid down the hill trying to run with me and Ginger and Mango pulled Miss Hollis down when she got excited. It was crazy! After class–the team went to the Humane Society Walk For Animals event and cruised the booths. I LOVED IT because I got lots of treats and a new fancy harness.

Enjoy the photos! (click on image to enlarge)

Run the Circuit- Rose CanyonTrail Run 4/27/10

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Here we are walking to the trail!

We had a nice run on Tuesday! My mom and I met up with some of our friends at the Starbucks on Regents Road and headed towards the trail. The Rose Canyon trail was absolutely beautiful! It was a little cloudy out, but it was a really nice day!

The flowers were in bloom!

Thanks to the recent rain, the hills were green and the flowers were in bloom! I love running when the air is clean and the grass is green.

The moms were stretching.

Don’t forget to stretch before you go on a run. You don’t want to pull something. I’ve seen too many cramped muscles in my day!

Running along the trail.

Overall, it was a great run and I can’t wait to do it again. I love spending time with my mommy and my friends. These Leash Your Fitness classes really bring my mom and I closer, and I get to hang out with some really awesome dogs… and people! See you at the next class.
