Pet motivation

This is my beautiful and highly energetic puppy Cabella. She is a 7 month old black lab and great pyranees mix. She has been my motivation to get back into running because the only way she gets tired out is after a long run around the lakes. I just couldn't help but brag about her a little bit.

Does anyone else have a pet or any other form of motivation?

    Cuuuutee. Unfortunately, my pets are the opposite of motivating. They are both cats, so they're always wanting to cuddle and nap. I love them anyway. :smile:

    Oh adorable is your puppy...so!!!

    I def have a motivation. My puppy is also a lab(mix) and he never gets tired. That is unless i go running. I used to tire out before him but now he gets tired before me. He helps encourage me to go out running or walking because he loves it and i also hate going alone.So with him, it is a win win!:happy:

    She is SO cute!!! I have a 3 year old yellow lab/sheba inu mix named Phoenix. He motivates me because I feel guilty that I'm not more active for him. He needs a lot more exercise than I'm able to give him but with the summer coming (and losing weight) this will change! :)

    She is super cute, love her! Unfortunately, My 10 year old basset hound and my 15 year old schnoodle do NOT want to exercise. They just want to lay at my feet and stink up the joint. LOL!

    Here's my 'baby', Tigger... keeps me motivated daily because he and his 'sister', Pepper, love to go for loooong walks. What makes them happy, makes me happy :)

    Ok, this was my first photo... what a learning experience but there is it.

    Your puppy is beautiful as well. What a great mix!

    Tigger is 1/2 border collie, 1/2 german sheppard :)

    My 4 month old Jack Russel Terrior definitely keeps me moving! Even after going for a walk/jog/run he doesn't get tired! His name is Sampson and is absolutely the best!!! (:

    She is a total doll! I have 4 standard poodles....the youngest is 2 years, and has tons of energy! I take her for a long walk everyday it's not raining. She is so calm the rest of the night.


    Happy running to you both ; )

    That is one of the cutest puppies I have ever seen!

    We have two Shelties, but they're getting up there. Buddie turned 9 in January, and Laddie (my profile pic) will be 10 a week from today. Buddie gave us a good health scare just before his birthday, but he's doing well now. Unfortunately, Laddie is following suit and making us worry just before his birthday. He's not getting around very well, but we are hopeful that rest and meds will make him good as new. Nothing shows up in the x-rays, so the docs *think* it's a soft-tissue injury, but he's one lame poopy dog right now.

    Ah that can be so scary! my parents dog is pushing 9 years old and she is developing arthritis, its so sad to see her in pain.

    All the best to you and your pretty pup!
