Who needs an expensive gym membership when they have an active excited dog!

May 28, 2011 by Tricia

I was just outside on the front lawn talking to our next door neighbors. We were trying to talk with them about the fence that they are putting in since one part of the new fence is on our shared property line.

I brought my Labrador Retriever outside with me when I was talking with my neighbors – just on her leash, not with her prong collar as I usually do and man, did my arms ever get a work out with all her pulling! If I did that for half an hour a day I wouldn’t need to take any muscle building supplements ever! LOL

You see my neighbor was doing some work on the foundation of his house and he’d pulled out a rose bush and cleared some maple twigs that had landed on his lawn and my dog could see them from where we were talking so she kept pulling and pulling while we talked … she also kept pulling whenever someone would walk by with their dog. So I got quite the workout. Who needs an expensive gym membership when they have an active excited dog!
