Skipping...
Posted by Gumby Pana on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 Under: Dog Blog
I live in an obese society where it seems that that striving for PAWfection these days seems more about LOSING yourself than finding yourself... in the age of the gym where the body is considered a sculpture, it seems PAWfection is attained not when there is nothing left to add, but only when there is nothing left to take away!!! I realise that no one got ahead by sitting on their behind, and I do my regular walkies, but I am a township rescue and I really simply do not like the feeling of hungerpangs. I am a constant snacker, not a glutton... in fact I go and bury any leftovers in the garden (for those lean times). I remember what it was like to scrounge for scraps, but now it seems that "quod me nutrit, me destruit" and I am now considered a little too well-rounded...seriARSEly, is there such a thing? Gotta love this age of obesity where people actually believe that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" W.T.F.???!!! I have DONE deprivation and am finished with it... I am living my fairyTAIL and believe in tasting all that life has on offer... Fat doesn't drag you down, actually, it helps you float...
I have no problem casting a shadow, or leaving my footprints in the beach sand... and why would I want to dance between the raindrops... and sorry, Sarah McLachlan... trust me, Angel, being empty and weightless aint gonna find you peace tonight!!! There is no peace in a growling tummy and gnawing hunger pangs... ask any homeless dog!
Yes there are health risks associated with being overweight... I will at least indulge that possibility... and perhaps it is just a case of Mind over Fatter... but I still believe in exercise as a cure-all. So just imagine how excited I was when Dad suggested SKIPPING! I was really inpired... the beginning is always TODAY so I rushed out do do some research (well actually I sat down and googled it on the computer)... but hey it doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop ...and just look what I found:

Skip dinner, end up thinner...

RIP GUMBY - your PAWsome legacy and insPAWration will continue ❤your mom, Dido
Abandoned in a township, and rescued by CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare), I went on to be adopted and embraced by the Blagden-pack and taken to dog training where I was certified as a Canine Good Citizen. I am registered as a Paws for People Therapy Dog and visit lots of special people in various institutions. I foster a few CLAWbies who have been neglected, abandoned, abused or need some special TLC outside a shelter. I am also very involved in networking animals needing to find their PAWfect forever home and PAWsome happily ever after!
Years ago I had my DNA analysed and I am in fact a Pekignese-Schnauzer-Yorkshire Terrier, with a drop of Pomeranian-Jack Russel and just a smidgen of Boxer... yip, basically I'm just a paveMUNT special super-callused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis ;-D
