Your doggies are soooo cute! I love pups (and kitties). My own dog is definitely not an inspiration, or help, in my weight loss: he's a fat pug and when I try to exercise him, we walk about 1/4 a block and he just stops dead in his tracks and won't move.
ShyMoment: your kitty is cute and no, he doesn't look like he/she will help you do anything haha. My cat is the same way: if you try to exercise, like if you lay down to do situps, he will come over and get up on you to stop you. He is such a hater. Any time that we sit at the computer to do something, he jumps up on our lap and prevents activity. I have to move him off my lap when I want to type!
