The Role of Exercise and Metabolism to a Healthy Poodle:
Much unlike his best friend (me) who has the metabolism of a mastodon frozen deep within the Arctic tundra, Skip has the metabolism of a hamster...I say this because the previous pics depict his most active posture on any given day and he has never gained an ounce. Taking Skip for a walk means a commitment to carry him for at least a mile...and depending on his mood you may have to drag him behind you the rest of the way (to be fair, he runs like a lunatic off-leash). So while originally we were shooting for a few more lbs he's happy and healthy at 15lbs which to be quite honest about it I think my head weighs more than that.
Just think of the abs it takes to stay balanced on the edge that way!He's just found a way to work out AND reserve his energy.Cut the guy some slack!
ReplyDeleteCome on, (to quote Holly): "cut the guy some slack!" The poodle dance has GOT to burn SOME of those chicken liver calories! Maybe he can teach Jewell (we'll indulge her calling it the "cat" dance, though)...I think she may just weigh close to 15lbs
