speaking of dogs....

Dally's post made me giggle. my dog can't run either. Well, she can
sprint, but short sprints and gives up on running pretty quickly.

Anyhow... tonight I finally unwrapped a gift from someone who sometimes
reads here - she knows who she is. She sent me the billy blanks taebo
tapes. I finally got the intro tape out of the box and went through it
tonight.

First the dog saw me dressed in workout clothes and to her that is a sure
sign that I'm going to say the "w" word. When I didn't, she pitched a fit.
So, I took her for a walk. well, actually a sprint, then light jog.
About 3/4 mile, untimed.

Then in to do the tape. She insisted on sitting on the floor as close to me
as possible while I watched and worked on the intro tape to learn the moves.
When i wouldn't give her attention she began barking and runnign in circles
*ya know that super run they do...* Then she'd come and try to sit on my
feet.

Darned dog didn't want me to workout. And she wouldn't leave me alone.

Well, I made it through the 1 hr intro tape... boring... I'm gonna
go do something else to get some cardio in, and maybe a condensed weight
workout or something. ANYTHING!! to get me back into gear. First workout
in weeks...

The intro tape is boring yes.. moves too slow but that's because he stops to
explain all the moves. Try moving on to the beginner (and if you're brave,
advanced) tape. They go MUCH faster.

That is why I have cats! Yes, they ignore me 1/2 the time, but I feel very
special when they pay attention to me. My 6 month old kitten is VERY cute
when my husband and I play pool (we have a pool table in our living room).
He chases the balls around and goes crazy when we actually make a pocket.
It is cute but annoying, we have to lock him up when we play.

Sometimes, late at night, I'll wake up to the weird sound of someone playing
pool. One time I walked to my living room and saw the kitten running around
on the pool table knocking a few of the balls we left out in the pockets.
Yes, our cat plays pool and plays it better then me!

We have five cats. Everything that's not permanently affixed and immobile
has the potential to become a cat toy. Trust me, if they didn't "ignore"
you half the time, they'd drive you crazy. I put the "ignore" in quotes
because it really isn't what they'redoing. They have their own busy lives
too. Nap, stretch, chase floating dust specks, have a snack, go out through
the cat door and roll in the dirt, nap some more; mine stay scheduled up.
g The cat who has alpha status considers my lap to be her personal space
and she gets angry with me and the other cat when one of the other ones gets
lap time. Never a dull moment around here!

me. At night, in bed, she believes her bed is the curve of my
ab/legs. (I'm a side sleeper). SHe curls up on me right htere. If I
move, she gets mad, gives me a meow or something, then gets right back
on me to settle back in. If I try to discourage her, she gets made
and will even give me a love bite, then insist on settling in.

I'm her bed, and don't I dare tell her otherwise, unless its after 6am
and she's hungry, then she'll get off and ask for food.

My dog must be a cat!

I know what you mean! We drink bottled water here simply because of the
fact that our 2 cats are water addicts. I got sick of finding cat fur in my
glasses of water....

I got one of those drinkwell filtered pet fountains and they love it. It is
funny watching the kitten "play" with the running water.

The 3 yr old is a black female named Cleo. the 6 mo old is a white male
named Patra. Cleo is the alpha and attached to hubby. Patra is a slut...
he'll sleep with anyone.

We don't allow the cats to sleep with us at night at this point. We tried,
but the little one stays awake most of the night attacking our feet as they
move under the covers. When he gets older, we'll start letting them sleep
in our bedroom.

I have a cat... and up till we got the dog, if I was in working out -
the cat was in there with me, watching, and wanting attention.

I know what you mean about the cat and the lap space. My cat
believes that my lap is her bed. If I'm in the living room on the
