Mini Personal Trainer.

Amara has many, many quirks - and nicknames! Today, those quirks and all her many nicknames grew. Food Thief, Attention Hog, and Fitness Expert Extraordinaire. 

Amara, making sure dad stays on-task.

We recently set up our Total Gym. Exercising, being more active, and becoming more fit were all a part of my 2014 Endeavor. (I'll be doing an update on that Endeavor soon!) So the family agreed - the Total Gym needed to be set up. Currently it is in our sun room/green house/doggie salon/storage room. This morning while I was in the sun room putting on my gardener hat and tending to my veggies, dad sat down on the total gym to do a few exercises before work.

Next thing we knew - Amara hopped right on for the ride!



Occasionally she tried lick his face, but mostly she made herself comfortable on his lap.
Now she is dad's Personal Fitness Coach. What can I say, it's a tough life being a spoiled pup.

This is what happens when I try to exercise

I was trying to do my Friday exercise session this afternoon, as per my 2014 Goal Endeavor, but it didn't go quite as planned. While I had goals of activity...well, my pups had different goals.

This is pretty standard procedure. (Just my first time capturing it on camera!) Either Peaches and Amara claim my mat for their bed or they snuggle in close to me, making maneuvering difficult. In this particular instance Peaches claimed my footsie as her pillow. They're just so cute that I don't care it takes me longer to do my sessions because of them.

I may be their own owner, but I'm fairly certain they own me. And I love every second of it.
