My Personal Trainer

Summer is here and it's time to get outside. My faithful companion springs to his feet at the slightest mention of going for a walk, or when he's asked "Where's your ball?" - the signal that it's time to head outside for a game of fetch the tennis ball.

Plenty of dogs will chase after something you throw. Luke is a true Golden Retriever, and so once he gets the ball (usually in mid-air), he brings it straight back to you and puts it in your hand... ready to chase after it again.

Luke and I have put on a few extra pounds this winter, so we both need a little more activity. Like someone once said: "If your dog is over weight, you're not getting enough exercise".
