I thought about using a quote from Troop Beverly Hills as the title of this post, but somehow “shopping is our greatest thrill” didn’t really seem on point. Not that the lack of relevance has stopped me from singing it to myself and looking up more quotes. Ah, the Internet… waster of time and enabler of nostalgia. What did I ever do without it?
Anyway, welcome to K9 Kamp! As I mentioned last week, I’m a featured blogger in this great challenge sponsored by Kol’s Notes and Peggy’s Pet Place. You may be wondering what this is all about, why I’m participating, and what’s in it for you. Allow me to explain…
K9 Kamp is designed to encourage getting fit while spending time with your dog. I agreed to be a featured blogger for a few reasons: (1) Kol’s Notes and Peggy’s Pet Place are awesome blogs; (2) I was extremely flattered to be invited to participate; (3) although I started jogging in the spring and do yoga from time to time, I allowed myself to be a bit lazy over the summer (it was so hot out… and stuff); (4) Bella tends to be a lazy pup herself, and is more likely to nap than go for a run; (5) even if I could convince Bella to go for a run, she has a tendency to run in a zigzag pattern rather than a straight line, making things somewhat difficult; (7) the challenges take approximately an hour per week, which seems right up Bella’s alley; (7) K9 Kamp sounded like a great opportunity to get some new fitness ideas for both me and Bella; and (8) it wouldn’t hurt Bella to practice some obedience skills either.
So… that’s all well and good, but what’s in it for you? In a word… prizes! There are over $1000 in prizes up for grabs in a series of weekly giveaways, as well as a grand prize (go visit our Kamp counselors for the details – there are lots of ways to enter – and to check out some of the sponsors). Getting fit, hanging out with your pup, and possibly winning some swag? Sounds like a win-win to me. I’ll be updating you from time to time on my progress here – we’ll see if I can convince Bella to get out of her cave and get into my car… er, into some workout gear.
Will you be participating? Let me know in the comments, and then join in today’s blog hop and tell everyone why you’re heading to K9 Kamp. You can also follow the #K9Kamp hashtag on Twitter for additional updates.
Sounds like fun, but a cat like me would sure disrupt camp!
I'll be a spectator cheering on from the sidelines–"Bella, Bella she's our girl. Giving K9 fitness a whirl."
And how about, "Pup Fan, Pup Fan write that post. You're the blogger we love the most!"
Can't wait to read all about the challenge.
Oh. Em. Gee. Patches! K9 Kamp needs completely nonsensical patches! I see absolutely no reason why we can't use Kamp as an excuse to get workout outfits and coordinating leashes!
Hi Bella! Thanks for joining in and have fun! We just returned from our first walk, even though it's been raining for about a bazillion days here!
Have fun…going to read more about this!
Sounds like fun – can't wait to read all about it 😉
Well, the truth of the matter is that I really need to get on board with this, and I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for Bunny or Morgan to keep up with me or outdo me. I'll give it a look and think hard about it!
oh how exciting! I would like to join!
