Focus on Fitness & Zap's Homecoming Day

This blog is officially one year old! ;-) I started writing on the eve of bringing Zap home. Here we are a year later and all I can say is that... I LOVE my Zapper!! Training, playing it's all the same to him and he lightens my heart everyday. The timing couldn't have been better for him to come into my life. Thank you to my very good friend Kara for this amazing boy and making this year brighter for us.

Now onto the business of fitness! I need to be in better shape. I have some very high goals of things I want to accomplish and being out of shape is no longer acceptable!!!! Heeling class with multiple dogs has been kicking my butt. Agility training with one dog (let alone multiple dogs) is kicking my butt! I am too slow and I need to head into my fifties fit and trim....end of excuses! Added to my daily hike now is biking. I take Apollo, Truly and Siena at least 3 times per week (weather permitting). I'm not going to paint a pretty picture the first week was hard. Hills are my enemy ;) But slowly I keep working at it and I am starting to see some results.

I have so much more to write about since I've been way behind on this blog, but it will have to wait for another day. I plan to slowly catch up this week especially if the weather gets bad.

The pictures below are of Zap (9 weeks and 13 months)....I get a kick out of his need to ALWAYS have something in his mouth. He's been like that from the beginning ;) I love you Zap!
