Tone your booty while walking Fido

Tone your booty while walking Fido

Is your booty getting a little soft?  Do you need a little “pick me up” in the form of exercises to do while exercising Fido at the same time?  Taking Fido for a walk is ok, but that is not going to tone up the buns so try adding these to your exercise routine and buns of steel will magically appear!! 1/ Stairs.  Find some stairs on your walking route and start climbing!!  You can do “stair repeats” where you go up the stairs, come back down and repeat!!  Another fun thing to do is time your ascent and then

Dog Book Review:  A Dog's Journey

When I heard there was going to be a sequel to the highly acclaimed (and one of my all-time, hands-down personal favorites) A Dog’s Purpose, I couldn’t fathom how it could possibly stand up to, or hold it’s own against, the original.

What is your “WHY”??

What is your "WHY"??

A few weeks ago, I posted on facebook that 12 years ago that day (July 28th) I spent the night in jail after getting a DUI, it was my last time I ever drank alcohol. I wanted to know in the post what was a life changing moment in YOUR life.

One person said that their kids were their “why” and another said that the death
