If you need an arm workout, here's what I've found is the best formula... #WORKOUTTIPS
Curls? No.
Weights? No.
Regular gym visits? No.
Place an 85 lb dog (with major pull power -- Husky, Pittie, Bulldog, etc.) on a long 8 to 10 ft leash on a harness.
Find where the squirrels in your neighborhood hang out.
HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE!!! PULL LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER PULLED BEFORE!!!! (ps. make sure you don't get leash burn... dislocate a finger... or get pulled face first as they drag you down the street/trail. Or through the bushes).
@ai6yr Mrs had her neck strained from one of those, and of course the loss of Brewster when he broke free last week and met the working end of a car ...
Broken fingers happen easily. 85 lbs at full throttle will do a number on the strong & prepared too. #DogLife
My puppy dog Sylvie got that mystery illness that's going around about a month ago. I'll be honest it kinda scared me.
She is one of the sweetest, best dogs I've had in my life.
We're very fortunate... so lucky that we could afford to take her to the vet and get her some meds. But even then it took a couple of weeks for her to get over it.
#BilboToday A dog's frustration that the blackberry season is over. And the pride of having dug a big hole. Sniffing the tracks of voles, deer and wild boars while the lame Twoleg can only smell the fox.
Tomorrow we celebrate Bilbo's 5 months living with an aggressive cancer. Hiking became shorter but he still has so much joy.🥰 Every day like today is a feast. #dogLife
Rat meines Hundes zur #Zeitumstellung: Anstatt herumzumeckern, einfach aufs schwache Sonnenlicht hören und sich einen verdammt gemütlichen #Sonntag machen. Kuscheln, Schnarchen, Fressen, Spielen, Faulenzen. Nur depperte Menschen brauchen dazu eine Uhr.😁 #doglife#hundeleben#BilboToday
Over the years I've lost many sweet pups. It's always so very hard, but I do get to see them in my dreams. Sometimes so vivid I can smell their coats...
#BilboToday
Bilbo: Let's go back to bed! I don't want to walk now.
Twolegs: We have to walk. Look at this beautiful meadow,the sun!
B: All others are still in bed. Nobody walks.
T: But the fox, the heron ...
B: No dog. It's cold and wet, terribly wet.
T: As a beagle, you should be adapted to #British-like weather!
B: I'm a #French beagle. We wait in bed for the smell of fresh baguette!
T: You are just a #beagle!
B: In sit-in strike now. Take me home!
T: Okee, but the baguette is for me! #DogLife
#BilboToday In French it's called "têtu", stubborn, sturköpfig, what Twolegs often attribute to some of the most intelligent dog breeds. Imagine my beagle mix Bilbo who grumbles because I'm not ready to go out until 9 o'clock on Sunday. Happily, he walks, makes 💩 and at once, turns around to walk back. Twoleg is too late? It's already too hot? So, no hike for Twoleg, she has to feed the dog, hungry from walking! 😁 It's Sunday, a distinguished #beagle holds court in bed. #DogsOfMastodon#dogLife
#BilboToday The strange weather is indecisive. Twoleg is still heat-plagued. Bilbo showed how best to deal with it: leisurely, no big run. Visit the neighbour's dog, check the other neighbour's apples. Then an extensive chat with Widderle, the last sheep who can't decide whether he's a goat (he lives with them) or a beagle (he touches nose-to-nose). #dogLife#sheep#goats#ruralLife#farmAnimals
Those that have been following me for awhile are aware of my love of all things circular. Mandalas, ensos and polka dots! So I took my Pretty Paws and made it into a circle. That's it!

*This sweet girl belonged to a friend. She was a rescue. Her death came as a shock to their family. I couldn't bring her back, but I could preserve her memory...
