Not Even Kidding

Remember Rita and Roman (Kira son)?  The Rita that is “Ms.Buff”,  runs triathlons and teaches a zillion exercise classes a week?  Yes that Rita.  She just sent me the cutest email that I want to share, I am pretty sure she won’t mind:

I had a lady in class ask me how I get such defined arms and I told her, that’s easy…all you have to do is get a 100lb german shepherd and play tug every day. Not even kidding. Roman is great for building upper body strength 😉

Another cute story. Gustavo is on vacation but I have breed surveys coming up for several dogs so I have to go work the dogs with someone else while he is away. Anyway the last dog we worked was Gavin, we finished up and let him carry the sleeve around while we chatted. As Gavin was parading the sleeve around, we headed up to our vans, Gavin heads to the back of my van with the sleeve, but then turns around and goes to the back of the helpers van and very nicely and politely deposits the sleeve at the back gate of his van. And in Rita’s words “not even kidding!” It was the cutest thing. It was like oops this belongs to you and thanks for playing with me!
