Jennifer Coulter Webboard User Reg: 04-02-2007 Posts: 749 Loc: Canada Offline	After university and a short stint in an office I decided that I would rather like to make physical activity a part of my job. Doesn't always pay well, but at least I do get payed to exersice  Quote: One show was about people and their dogs training for search and rescue and the other was about agility trials. Oh, and then there was the whippet lure course... Holy smokes! Over half of the women were huge! The SAR thing is really too bad. It is not an issue for the group to which I belong, but in general it is hard to be taken seriously on a rescue if you are seen as a liability by the other parties involved. There are vital places and jobs on SAR teams for all types of people of all shapes and sizes. That said, if you are a front line responder, you better have the fitness and skills to match the environment in which you are working. That is what is fair to the victim, your dog, your team and so on.

I have found that if you take any group of people dog people, cat people, rc people, what ever their hobby is.. You will find that 40% of them are over-weight, 10% are a-holes, and 5% are saints, while the rest fall somewhere in between and even have the ability to slide into one of the above categories - lol. I do however take care of my dogs before I take care of myself. Much to my chagrin. My girlfriend often jokes that I will spend 25 min preparing meals for the dogs, supplement, vitamins, and so forth. Then come in sit on the couch and say " K, the dogs are fed let's order a pizza!" I am slowly changing my style - not sacrificing my care of the dogs - just making better decisions for myself. Jason Now that tickled my funny bone- especially the a-hole part! The truest things are the funniest things. LOL

The trick for me is that Im not having to motivate to exercise, my motivation is purely self preservation of my sanity, not to mention preserving my furniture, and molding and shoes and yard lol.

Back flips at 67? Sheesh, I could scarcely manage that at 8 and I'd break in two if I tried it now. My hat's off to you, Steve. Are you a Malinois in disguise? True

I think some of us live vicariously thru our dogs, Bad knees, bum shoulder, ex smoker(going on eleven years) puts a crimp on excercise, the kids and the dogs are the only reason I want to get off my dead a$$
