    :laugh: I found one site that said you could burn up to 240 cals/hour washing a dog. Sounds like you definitely qualify.

    I feel your pain... my 76 pound yellow lab hates water. Can you believe it? She even walks around puddles after it rains if we are walking in the street. :tongue:

    That is hilarious and practically unheard of for a lab!

    Hey I have a 4 lb and a 7 lb Yorkies. It takes me about a half hour to wash both of them so can I say I surned 120 calories?

    The day after I washed my 80lb rottweiler/sheppard mix my butt was sore. She was pushing on me the whole time and I had to push back. Great workout! :laugh:
