Am I fat? Is your dog fat?
Did you know that February is "The National Canine Weight Check"? Apparently, a lot (~47%) of canine brethren are a bit chunky, even portly. So I took the Body Assessment Ratings for Canines. Some of the questions I aced - jump on the bed - check; exercise - check. But, I have no control over - multiple dog house, breed. In the end, I ended up scoring "Your dog may be overweight or living a lifestyle that could lead him or her to become overweight or obese." WHAT?!? ME?!? I need to go do some crunches or run some laps.

Busy as a Bee
Yesterday was a busy day. I had to go visit the V-E-T in the morning. I was just in for my once year checkup and shots. I was a little concerned that I had put on some winter weight, but it appears I am right at my optimal training weight. I did have to suffer through a bordetella vaccine. I imagine getting that is sort of like being waterboarded. Held down against my will while they poured drops up my nose. It's pretty awful - I would talk if I could. Last year, I fought them off until they gave me a shot, but the vet was a little more determined this year. I tested a weak positive for anaplasmosis, so I've got some antibiotics to take. You know what that means - Peanut Butter. Yum!
After my morning visit to the vet, I had a short rest before it was off to the pool. I had a good workout, though it turns out that they get kind of upset if you try to jump back in the pool after the shower. But there was a toy left in the pool, I was just trying to help clean up.
I'm ready for the humans to go back to work so I can get some rest.

The importance of speedwork
My training regime doesn't just focus on endurance, I try to work on my speed, too. The most important piece of equipment for that is . . .
I like to do sprints that are a little longer, so my human needs some equipment, too. .
Last weekend's speed workout was so tough that I needed a Accel Gel and a Powergel to recover. Apparently,they weren't left out for me. Sorry, mom.
