Big Boy Uschi

Uschi has the potential to be a BIG boy.

He was well on his way in 2006 before he stopped
eating after getting sick on last years tainted pet foods.

Recently he has been "growing" likely due to late-night
dry food kitchen raids, junk-food, and less exercise. Uschi
is not a big eater during the day,... he ignores the wet
food we give the boys,... but if we get up in the middle
of the night,... Uschi is regularly found hunkered down
in the dark, munch away on the dry food.

During the day,...

Uschi gets

comfy.

Sooo, cute,...

Happy Uschi,...

You could pet my belly.

Baaaad Boys

Oops, how did this happen?

Tanj and Uschi are very good boys. Typically, we only have to tell them not to touch something once (with a hiss, a yelp, or a "no"), and they usually stay clear from then on. That includes Les' exercise videos (The Firm, FitPrime, Tracie Long, Mindy Mylrea) - they are strictly "paws off." Well, the boys were in the middle of a good wrestling match and somehow all of the "current rotation" videos got disturbed...

This is what the "current rotation" should look like

Then the boys shot under the TV,

Videos are scattering everywhere
(Of course, we're snapping photos)

The boys pick a favorite...
("Flying Casanovas" indeed)

Uschi is baiting Tanj

"Tanj, Usch, what are you doing???!!!"

Tanj knows he was bad,
you can see it in his eyes.
"I'm out of here!"
Uschi is having too much fun...

Oops, my paw seems to be
pushing these videos over...

Wow, weights too, this must be
my lucky day!

"Uschi, stop messing with those videos!"

Who, me?

Whatever, I'll do what I want!

Weighted One

Uschi was at it again,
he just loves it when Lesley's weights
and steps come out to play, on a daily basis.

Yea! Exercise time !!!

Oooo baby,... I love these weights.

Wooo Hooo, the TransFIRMer gets my heart rate up.

Uschi, you're supposed to step up onto the incline.

Tanji "helps" with the step.

But

spots Uschi

who is taking a break between sets.

Pan-T

It has been well documented that Tanjiro, "Ener-T," likes to play. He just goes and goes,... and goes, partly due to his inability to disengage from the action. If there is something going on, he HAS to be involved. Tanj stays after it until he is panting so hard that he can hardly stand. Ener-T has even gone so far as having "exercise induced asthma-like attacks," where he starts gasping. We regularly have to hide the toy away and calm him down, before he will walk away and collapse in a panting heap. Once Tanj has settled (just a bit) Uschi has a short opportunity to play with the toy, before Tanji's batteries are charged enough for him to come running back.

I see it,...

I must get it,...

No, no,... I'm alright,...

There it goes again,...

My lungs are burning,...

I can't see straight any more,...

and I'm feeling kind of wobbly, but

I can't take my eyes off the toy.

Just a quick lay down,...

No I can't rest,...

well maybe

I have had enough,...
For now.

Heavy Weight

One of Lesley's Christmas gifts
was a new set of dumbells, weights that is.
They are pretty nice with a rubberized grip
and hexagonal (no rolling) rubberized "bells."

Uschi took an immediate interest in them.

hmmm, these smell good,...

Lets start with a set at 10lbs,...

Grrrrrr

Tanj,... what are you doing!!!???

I'm trying to workout here,...

If one 10 pounder is good,

maybe the other is also.

Yup,... it is yummy.

Soon,... Lesley's new mat requires sampling,...

USCHI! No,...

Whattt evveerrrrrr,...

Fine, one more set at 15lbs.

Thats enough for today.
