I did so lubbs the ecksersize

Ackshewally, no.
It iss much more complecks that that...

And this iss when the Mom the Trainer
is required teu pull out her note book
and take good notes.
Home Work

There were many good instruckshuns conveyed,
requests made and then class whas dismissed.
Now this is when fings got a little interesting...
The Mom was a bout to DIE from pain her thigh,
but she iss a hard headed one.
She all ready feels old and stoopid,
so she whas naught a bout teu let any body
know she whas a bout teu DIE.
She made bery quick work of getting me
and all our crab
[note: the plank, the cooler, the bag and the chair
are not "crab" until the Trainer habbs a knife in her figh]
loaded in teu the trolley
wifout so much as a whimper
or eben the slightest limp.
Butt.... boy o boy whas it a rough ride home.
The misery, the diss comfort. And agony.
I sure hobes
gibbs me chance to wee
be fore the trolley departs fur home teunight!
What a fun class!
What a fun night!

Reufus, your description of what you do are priceless, we really think you should put your paw to the grindstone and write a book.
ReplyDeleteWhat a trooper The Mom is, you know the old saying " when the going gets tough , the tough get going" and obviously The Mom is one tough Mom.
We will be chewing on our antlers and waiting for your next installment.

I am personally excited to see all of the new things you do agility-wise and cannot hardly wait for next week. You are gonna be a great agility guy!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
Your agility class brings back such fond memories! I know you are loving every minute of this...except the parts where the Trainer is injured. Hope she feels better before the next class!
ReplyDeleteHas the Trainer been to her dog-tor to tell him or her about the pain in her leg? She just might want to do that. Maybe she can get some exercises that she can do prior to going to agility classes. All athletes, and now your Trainer is going to be one☺, need to know good conditioning/warm up exercises☺.
ReplyDeleteReufus I am exhausted just seeing you! Wonder what your entries are for the BO2012 games? I can sniff a gold in there somewhere.
