I could learn a lot from my dogs.

I took the girls to the dreaded vet today for their annual checkup and shots.  What is the first thing that they do at the vet?  Get them on the scale.  Grace and Wem are both up about 19% of their body weight.  REALLY?  I mean, it is only a pound or two?!   But, oh yes, they are obese.  They certainly still seem happy and aren't depressed about the scale...but I know it is my job to get them back to a healthy weight.  Now....what can I learn from them??  They  never turn a walk down.  They go outside all of the time just to be outside.  When I grab their leashes, they are STOKED to get out for some exercise.  Me, on the other hand... I sometimes stare at my gym bag with the "stink eye" since I know I've gotta' go.  I wish I could have that excitement that my girls have over getting some pavement under their feet.
