Lithe

I am lithe because I work out every morning in my home gym. My brother,” the Dread Pirate Marcus,” just likes to fight. He works out with the dog in the downstairs dojo and ambushes father on the stairs. Marcus says he likes a more aerobic exercise routine. Our dog brother Max says he is a hunter and cattle dog. He gets his exercise running around outside chasing squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. He protects the home from invasion.

Last night, we woke Father during our two AM exercise period. One would think he’d be glad we work so hard at physical fitness. All he ever does is sit at the desk and write!

  1. Does Father not understand that there is no set schedule for exercising? You do it when the mood strikes. Not only does the body stay lithe and limber, but the mind does, too.

    1. It’s funny to watch them play together. The cat lies down on his back and demonstrates Judo style mat work while the dog goes for little nips at Marcus’ belly.

  2. I recall Charles Atlas supposedly developed his exercise routine by watching how cats exercise. Remember those cartoon book advertisements where the scrawny guy on the beach got shamed in front of his girlfriend by a muscle-bound bully kicked sand in his face, so he muscled up using the Charles Atlas course so he could retaliate? Whew! If life were so simple!

      1. LOL! Well, I’ve always thought cats were Kool and that Jazz is the music that works best with cats! Jazzercise works right into the scenario..
