    The little bugger has stolen one of my lifting gloves ...again

    And I can't find it anywhere

    *sighs*

    Maybe your dog has started lifting and is using the gloves to assist his gains. Must be tough on the paws.

    Whenever I put on shoes my dog thinks she gets to go for a walk or hike. It's becoming harder to turn her down.

    Mine waits until I grab my water bottle, then she thinks she's going with me

    Our old dog likes to lie near me when I'm doing my morning crunches and stretches. Unfortunately, he is rather flatulent...

    Well, pads of their feet is one of the few spots dogs can sweat from, so maybe he's taking your gloves because he thinks it is the equivalent of people that wear garbage bags to force sweat while working out?

    Mine does weird things when I yoga - like get under me in a downward dog, or put his paw on my head in childs pose. I have some photos of his shenanigans.

    I put my workout clothes on and my dogs get all excited - which is weird, because for them, it just means going down into the basement with me and taking a nap while I exercise for an hour and a quarter or so.

    As far as that glove goes... I hope you found it. My friend's dog stole a wool sock and ate it; it never came out and it had to be surgically removed. :s

    I have one with a glove fetish, she always steals one glove out of a pair and chews it to shreds, then eats it in tiny pieces. I hide my work gloves, riding gloves and biking gloves, she will even steal them out of pockets. Not the one pictured, he's passed.

    My 60 lb pit bull humps me when I do yoga. She's part of the reason I don't workout in my own house.

    My cats try to outdo me by running marathons in the house. They know I'll get too bored running in place.

    I have Wii Fit and I try to run from one end of the house to the other, but the cat gets too excited and starts jumping at and biting me. Not sure why he tries to take me down.

    You don't need to worry too much until he starts coming home with oreos. Then we know he's truly trying to sabotage you.

    This what Dave the cat does while I workout. The girls sit on the cat tree watching me with an equally judgemental tome of eye. Sometimes Dave gets bored because he's not the centre of attention and walks under me whilst doing press ups and planks, it's not helpful. He's fat and ha[[y and clearly thinks I should be too.

    Maybe he wants you to eat more so he can eat the stuff that "accidentally" falls onto the floor :p
