When I wrote about how we got a treadmill after New Years as part of a dual “let’s get fit” and “WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DAMNED PUPPY MUTINY!!” response plan, the message was loud and clear:
1. Some of you think we’re clearly a little nuts. Thank you for keeping score, we are.
2. You would like us to document the crazy more closely. On video if possible.
Far be it from me to deprive you of that, after all it’s not your fault I can’t have you all over for tea so you can see this madness first hand, I would like to present to you: the puppy treadmill, on video…
Music is Vagabond by Wolfmother
Ash is doing really well after the tussle earlier this month, and while Mal is not very keen on the treadmill we’re sure that given some time he’ll be just as enthusiastic as his brother. Or slightly less certain that being around it means certain death. One or the other.
p.s. – It’s very hard to film and take pictures of these boys where they aren’t just in silhouette, even their EYES are black, I hope you could make them out!
p.p.s. – If you are going to try this, be responsible. Don’t ever tie your dog up and walk away, don’t put them on for extended periods of time, and don’t force them if they’re scared. Use your head. Don’t do drugs. Stay in school.

Ha!!!! So funny how your one pup hides under the desk! Hilarious! What a great idea… I need one of those for our German Shepperd. I guess both dog would benefit, really…
Awwww, puppies! I love yours. And the puppy on the treadmill thing CRACKS ME UP! I’m surprised the one that willing does is it so chill about it!
.-= barbetti´s last blog ..A change of pace! =-.
Cuuuuute! I am so jealous that you have puppies. Lately I’ve really really really wanted an English Bulldog. One day it will happen.
.-= Awmb´s last blog ..Photo Blog: The Best Of 4 Rolls =-.
Wow!! That is so unbelievably adorable!!! I’m feeling the need to get a treadmill all of a sudden…but maybe a puppy first! x
.-= jen – tsk´s last blog ..How Do You Really Spell “DiarF3″? =-.
This is simply fabulous! The thing is, we’ve thought about doing this for one of our pups. He’s so much higher energy than the other.
Anyhow, precious!
They are so cute! We tried to get our HuskyMutt on the treadmill but she just stands there and slides off. Although she does like to watch me run on it…
.-= terra´s last blog ..Not even close to cool enough for school… =-.
My dad’s Jack Russel needs to do this. She HATES Edie and tries to go after her and then Edie defends herself and has like 15 pounds on her so yeah, my dog looks like the bad guy :(
.-= Jamie´s last blog ..texts from last night: the book and the giveaway =-.
AHHH! The preciousness of this video was almost too much. My mom needs to get this for our dog Sam. He’s a shih tzu, & nearly 30 lbs (which is pretty much obese for that breed).
You both are so creative.

oh my goodness, the cuteness!! I’m watching with Malachi and he requests “MORE puppy movies Mama!!” haha! This is such a great idea for pup exercise!
.-= jimaie´s last blog ..Mmmm Piiiiieeee =-.
Oh they are just so adorable. I just want to cuddle and squeeze them until they wriggle so hard I can’t anymore. I mean…I want to pet them. :-p How long are you able to keep them on for? What speed do you put them on?
.-= Mandy´s last blog ..Vlog About the Weekend =-.
This makes me smile. Great song!
Best,
Hannah Katy
really cute :)

That is hilarious and adorable! The puppies are so cute! And i love the flashes back to see how far they’ve gone. Awesome song too, who sings it?
Ky- that video is adorable! It really is a genius idea, especially for the winters that we get. I may just have to try that with my pups!
Your puppies are so cute I could squeal. I can hardly believe that one of them is trotting on the treadmill just like that. I wouldn’t mind doing this someday. When I get a dog of course. And a treadmill.
Also, remember how you posted about the fabric wall panels you put together? I’m sure you did, but you inspired me and I did a similar project and I just blogged about it. :)

AH! So cute!
That song is perfect for this video!! What a cool dog mommy you are to get them a treadmill!!! Hopefully Mal will get the hang of it soon. =D
.-= Melissa´s last blog .. =-.
This may be one of the cutest things I have ever seen! What a great idea!
Blog posts about dogs make my heart melt. I miss having a dog so much.
.-= Andrea´s last blog ..Pho Good =-.
Very cute, we have good weather here in Arizona all year round so we don’t have to indoor treadmill our dogs, just run them around the community.
First blog I read back in the city. Brought the BIGGEST smile to my face. And yes!! Now I have proof!! :D
.-= Emily Jane´s last blog ..Holiday Guest Post 4: The Sappy Things =-.
Wow, that’s impressive.
I want to visit you & play with those pups, so sweet!
.-= Alexis´s last blog ..Under Construction =-.
HAHA, oh this video made me chuckle. Thankfully for me, my boys are so small that they get enough exercise running laps around the sofas.
And the public service announcement at the bottom? “Don’t do drugs. Stay in school.” It made me LOL, for real. :)

Oh, this is so great! I’m really impressed. I love that song, too.
