Yet another
PSA that motivates us to do the exact opposite of what it's trying to promote. It compels me to urge the opposite sex to please put those scary things away so we can forget about them altogether and move on with our blissful, negligent lives without distraction. That is, until the cancer strikes.
OK, so let's face it: Your dog needs to lose a few pounds and it won't hurt you to burn some extra calories too.
With obesity on the rise in people and
in dogs, one fun way for the both of you to burn calories is to take an hour to play with your dog. In 60 minutes of play time, you can burn about 173 calories*.
A ball slap is the new face slap.
