Sharing a funny story

[hiitdogs]

Well, at least I think it was funny and I am still chuckling.

I was doing my workout this morning, leg w/o and abs, finishing with Supermans. My Mini Aussie, Jack, had been watching me the whole time. While I am huffing and puffing through the supermans, he started pacing in front of me, then sat down, looked me straight in the face and grined, yup, looked like he was laughing at me.

I am trying to keep a straight face and go on with my supermans, because, you know, I am on a roll. Then comes the kicker, the little stink puts both his front paws on my shoulders, so as to say, "Sooooo, you think you are tough and strong, let's see you do this then"

I yell at him, hey, what do you think you are doing, get off. So he gets off, sits there again, looks me straight in the face and grins at me AGAIN!!!

I know I have said many times not to humanize dogs but sometimes I tell you ........ :+

funny dog!!

My dog wathes me work out but licks me when I am working out. I cant stand it!! Then when I yell at her to stop, she licks my barbell and weights. Yuck!! For some reason she just goes to town on the barbell. Dogs.

Carola - oh Jack is a character!! Too funny!! I would have been rolling! I could not imagine life without Aussies - how dull!

The other day, DD15 took Jimmy out for a quick walk, then brought him back in. She jokingly said to him, "Hey, you didn't even thank me!" Jimmy looked at her and said, "Arrrrph". (He's not a talker, so this was out of the blue). DD15 and I had to laugh. I swear the dog understands English and would talk if he could. Goofy Aussies!! I love the breed so!

Funny dog stories!
Karen--My corgi, Scooter does the same thing!! She runs as fast as she can into the room where I work out, ONLY when *I* go in there and she goes to town licking my weights. ICK! Don't know what it is about those weights that are so darn tasty to her!?!

At that point, my workout would be over. Because I would be unable to contain myself. Mine have done something similar before. And it's always when you are lying on the floor. I think they think it's play time or something :+

Could be the salt from sweating if any has got on the weights. My shih-tzu loves to lick my arms or legs after working out because of the salty taste.

My Vlad pup is a trip, too. I do my CC's as an outdoor run and when I get home, my legs are TIRED and I don't want to go downstairs to stretch so I do it on the living room floor. Unfortunately he sees this as the time to sit on my head and try to lick the sweat off me. Doesn't seem to understand "go away" He just does his doggie smile and wags his tail.

. . . they're just an opposable thumb away from being dangerous.

Lol, too cute. My bunny comes in my workout to see what I'm doing and to check things out. During glute tucks on the ball I have my hands resting on the floor and she wedges her head under my hand for a head rub.

Love it ! I was also wondering how you could keep going as I would be busting a gut.

My goofy giant schnauzer just puts her back end in my face - her favorite place to be scratched. She's too heavy to just "push" out of the way.

Did anyone watch America's Favorite Dogs (I think that's the name) last night? I didn't see the whole think, but some of the pups were pretty darn cute ! Loved the skate boarder !

that's funny- my dog is a Corgi too! Something about Corgis and weights!

OMG I tell my cats that all the time!!! I explain to them that it's better for them that they don't have an opposable thumb and therefore cannot feed themselves (or at least can't have access to the big bag!!).

I swear, my boy George is a crack- up... the other night I was doing yoga and I swear; I had to go get him a yoga mat for himself!!! He was hogging mine and then, of course, he positioned himself so that he could hog BOTH of the mats!!!

They're lucky they're cute; I swear. ;-)

That is too funny, Carola! He's like a personal trainer.

That is soooo sweet. What a honey bunny. Cats do that, too. I have 5 in the house and have learned to close the doors when I work out. I no sooner get one love junky out of the room and here comes another. Whoever said cats are aloof never met mine.

Thanks for sharing, funny story, wonder what He'll try next?

I swear my little dog understands every thing I say;-)
Knows who I'm talking about in the family, knows exactly when I have the cheese out of the fridge, and comes out of hiding when I'm chopping carrots, you know some always fall on the floor

My daughter has taught him a multitude of fascinating parlor tricks
LOL he is quite the little entertainer too!

That's too funny!

I have a cat that insists on "helping" me stretch at the end of my workout! She winds in and out of my legs and nudges my hands....of course she wants to be loved on, but why is it always while I'm stretching????;-)
