A week of activity

On December 18, 2015 / Adventures of Jack

Wow!! We had a super fun week! Mommy isn’t a big shopper so while everyone is running around like crazy, she is taking me to do fun stuff! We started our week by going to the fiesta island! The water has gotten a little cold but I don’t care. Mommy says it is good for my legs to swim. I think it is good for my legs to dig so I did my own upper body workout in the sand after I attacked my Kong!! You can watch that action HERE! Wubba‘s are the best toys EVER! Maybe Santa will

A very special birthday

On December 17, 2015 / Healthy Dog Treats

Happy Birthday Tucker, Sunny and Bella! Recently we had a very special Leash Your Fitness birthday paw-ty!! We celebrated with 3 very special labs. It was extra special because Tucker, one of the labs was on death row about to be euthanized when his new mom saved him!! Now she brings him to our classes! He has a lot of energy and is very vocal so the classes are great for him to release his energy and get the mental stimulation that he needs. He is doing great! We actually love him for his spunk! He is very smart

It took time and she did much of this on her own, but credits having a supportive group of active friends in addition to her own hard work. It just goes to show that

Stepdog by Nicole Galland

On December 2, 2015 / Dog Book Review

Stepdog, by Nicole Galland Boy meets girl. Boy falls for girl. Boy meets girl’s dog… Stepdog, is a very well-written and incredibly realistic telling of the “love me, love my dog” standard. Rory and Sara, once coworkers, become romantically involved, and then married, through a series of unexpected events. Rory must find his place not only in Sara’s home, but also in her relationship with her dog, Cody. I feel that the author did an amazing job communicating to readers the plight of those “dog people” who happen to be in relationships with the “non- dog people”. I was very
