Back to normal and getting fit....

Morning Friends, Dexter here - we're pleased to say life appears to be getting back to normal, only worrying sign is that our human says it's time for us to 'get fit' - not too sure about that! SHE has had us both on diets for a couple of months now, I was very poorly with pancreatitis and had to go on a low fat diet, as Louis was a little porky he was put on the same. We've both lost weight and must admit we look pretty dapper, but miss the high fat treats we used to get...we now have things like dried Ostrich to chew which sounds awful but is actually fan-tas-tic !!

Okay so she now has it in her head that we need to get fit, and is thinking of running - yikes!
A rare sight, Dexter running...must be food involved
 Now, I haven't got anything against running per se - lots of dogs enjoy it, but they're built for it - and have the long legs to use! Now we're more of your furtling around dogs, that is, we like to potter around sticking our noses in the undergrowth, sniff out what's going on - our legs are NOT made for running! We are expert 'furtlers' - our humans don't know if this is a real word but it's one they always use for us:
The art of Furtling - get your nose right in there!
Yes, we're going to have to get this silly idea of jogging - she even mentioned a push bike for goodness sake out of her head, we hope she didn't mean WE would have to ride a push bike, now that would be taking things toooooo far! No, our mission will be to bring back the ancient art of Furtling to all dogs who are not of a running mind but enjoy life at a more leisurely pace. Only problem is, after a good Furtle, you can end up very messy and this could lead to the dreaded bath, however that's the only downfall - happy Furtling everyone. Dex & Louis xxx
Oh no - we see a beard wash coming on...
