Continuing with January's mantra of "Get Fit With Your Pet", this week's theme over at BlogPaws is "Winter Shape Up".  How many of our blogging friends need a bit of a shape up to start the new year right? All paws and hands raised here at Bocci's Beefs!

Meanwhile, back at the Ohio ranch...at least grab a toy and entice your parental unit to play with you!

Now on to the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Pet Blogger Hop to see how our blogging friends are staying fit this winter.

You And Your Dog Can Exercise Together...At The Gym!

We've all heard (and made) those New Year's resolutions to "get in shape" by doing those tough gym workouts, but wouldn't it be more fun to work out with your dog? And we're not just talking long walks—we mean exercise classes that combine both fitness training for human and canine, plus obedience training for your four-legged friend.

It sounds like the perfect, everyone is slender, fit and well-behaved world, and it might just be. Although "K9 fitness clubs" have been around for at least a few years, we just came across this recent article from one of our favorite holistic veterinarians, Dr. Karen Becker, that discusses the concept in detail. What we particularly love about this discussion is the myriad of ways you can exercise with your dog—it's not your grandmother's "walk your dog around the block" scenario: Take "Bark 'N" Burn", based in Michigan, for example. Here, both human and canine get quite a full body workout!

                      Did someone say "full-body workout"?

Let us know if you've ever been to the gym or formal exercise class with your dog and whether you liked it. We'd love to know!

The "theme" this week (and this entire month) over at BlogPaws is "Get Fit With Your Pet"—the perfect way to start the new year, we say! And while you're there, check out their fabulous new website. BlogPaws is certainly ready for 2014!

You know, we stay pretty fit around here: Parental Unit does her (almost) daily exercises and we go for decently long walks. But when it's nice out, I'd love to spend more time romping outdoors.

            I do look like the outdoorsy, high energy type, don't I?

Now let's visit the BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Hop and meet some new pals!
