Meet my furry friends

Furry Friend Introductions

As many of you have seen already, I have pets! These furry friends like to make an appearance just about every time my mat hits the floor. I would be lying if I said it didn't get on my nerves occasionally, especially once I started filming my content. But to be honest with you, my workouts wouldn't be the same with out them. Pets, children, and so many other distractions will always be there to throw you for a loop, whether it is them rolling on your mat, stealing your equipment, or asking you for the 10th snack since you pressed play on you class. What I hope you can see from my videos is the love and fun it can also create as well. I no longer have to workout alone. Izzy (who is in my eariler videos but has recently passed) is almost always laying near me, Tonic (another old soul who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge) enjoys being everywhere I want to be too, and Moxie takes it upon her self to lick me at every opportunity. Our newest furry family member is Xena, who like all puppies is everywhere all the time. Remember that in the grand scheme of things, this is just a workout. Have fun, laugh, and give those furry friends a little extra love!
