3 weeks: Marlie does not like exercising and “Grey’s gone Wild!”
This pic cracks me up. My dog has no shame. ( I call this her ‘girls gone wild’ pose)
We started physio this weekend and Marlie is not a fan of exercising. She actually groans when I put her on my bosu ball for her strength training– and my personal trainer thought I was bad! I am trying to do 2 or 3 sessions a day lasting only about 10 minutes each because she tires very easily and I can tell that it is tough for her. She really does like her “cookie stretches” though! ( likely because of the “cookie” part and not the “stretching”)
We are taking our K9 Immunity Plus and Omega 3 oil daily ( still waiting for the arte. and the butyrex to arrive!). Chemo starts this thursday.
Marlie is looking very comfortable! Cookies are an essential part of any exercise program! Hope the chemo goes well.

I think your’e doing great with the program but scale it back to just a couple of minute (no more than five) two or three times a week at most. She’ll build up strength as long as you remain dedicated to the routine. Hang in there!
Love that pose! Have you seen Angel Abby’s pose? It’s very similar: http://www.cafepress.com/tripawds/s_abby
