YEAH!!


WOO!!!! All the working out I've been doing has been paying off!!!!!

So, I got home from work tonight and walked over to the dog pen to say hi to my girls like I do every night (my girls aka my huskies Ella and Suka). Well.....they were gone..My cousin Brandon and I went out in our cars and started driving around looking for them. I decided to go and look on this pathway that I usually take them for walks on and what do ya know? There they were next to Kendrick Mansion (which is next to the path). Ella, being the sweet little attention seeker that she is, automatically ran to me as soon as she saw me, so, I was able to get her into my car. Suka, on the other hand, knew what was comin to her and wasn't about to let her moment of freedom get shortened, and she BOLTED! lol. Soooo.....here there I was chasing her around at full speed for about half a flippin mile, through people's yards mind you, when finally, she got tired and slowed down to a trot and I was able to get my last ounce of energy and sprint up to her and latch onto her collar lol.......Just so you know, for the past week I've been diligently going to the gym each night and bumping up my workouts so that I can push myself harder...These past few nights I've been running 5-6 miles on the treadmill to get my heart rate up....Welllll I owe the fact that I was able to keep up with Suka and eventually catch her to the fact that I've been working out!!! YAY FOR EXERCISE!! I know without a doubt that I wouldn't have been able to get her otherwise lol. So, I will most definitely continue going to the gym from now on!!!! haha......I brought the girls home and stuck them back in their pen....gave them a good talkin to and told them they were stuck in doggy prison for being bad......how lame am I?! lol

Mine and Ryan's little escape artists: Suka and Ella (licking the water off her nose)
