With winter on the way, we need to take advantage of the outdoors as much as we can. Sampson and I have a goal and that’s to help The Mama get into shape and lose some of her unwanted pounds.
Shhh Mama, I’m not going to tell them how out of shape and overweight you really are. All they have to do is look at your photos.
Photos don’t lie Mama.
A couple of years ago Sampson and I were very overweight. We went on a strict raw diet and daily walks and we both lost about 30 pounds. Now we look and feel great!
But what do you think happened to The Mama during that time? Did she get lean and mean like us?
Sadly the answer is no. The Mama has gained weight in the last couple of years and despite our daily walks she hasn’t been able to drop those unwanted pounds.
With the help of K-9 Kamp, Sampson and I set out to change that.
One of the fun things we like to do is play fetch with The Mama.
Traditionally humans play fetch by tossing an object such as a Frisbee and encouraging the dog to go and retrieve it and bring it back.
That’s not how we roll.
We put our own spin on fetch and make The Mama work. You can see what I mean in this video.
We let The Mama throw the disc, and pretend like we are going to bring it back, except we don’t. Sampson holds onto it, while I run back to get The Mama and encourage her to finish her retrieve.
We’re working on getting her to run back for her retrieve instead of walking. What can I say, she’s a work in progress.
Put the effort in Mama, it will pay off.
As for Sampson and I, well sometimes we just like to play a little tug of war with that Frisbee.
It’s that little something extra, that helps keep us fit and trim.
The Mama is saying that she lost some weight this past week, but I haven’t seen the numbers on the scale, so I can’t verify that.
Rest assured Mama, Sampson and I are here to help you. We’ll get that weight off you, I promise.
Put the donut down Mama, it’s not helping your cause.
So how are the rest of you doing? Do you need any tips or suggestions?
