The Ruthie Plan

Forget the Atkins Diet. Scrap your gym membership. EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT, when you get yourself on the Ruthie running program. Ruthie is a vibrant young Aussie Cattledog mix. Her energy level is at once astonishing and inspiring. When her chart tells you, "I am a sweet, young, energetic girl," then you best believe every word. Especially the "energetic" part, which is the key to this whole deal.

Once properly leashed up, we ran out of her room, we ran down the corridor, we ran through the SPCA lobby, we ran out the door, and we ran straight to the park. For a change of pace, we sprinted half a lap around the park, then jogged a lap, then ran again. We ended with what you could call a brisk racewalk--no, actually, it was a run.

Then finally I said, "Sit. Smile the biggest smile ever!"

See that? Don't mistake Ruthie's "energetic" label for "wild." She knows her commands. Ruthie is an Academy dog! That means she has her own personal dog trainer from the training academy who works with her for several sessions a week. Soon, whe will graduate. When she does, you can adopt her and become the proud human of the loveable Ruthie exercise machine!
