Hello everyone, this is Lily and I am taking over this blog for the day. Do you like my smile in the picture above?  This post has taken me all week to type because my paws aren’t so agile with these keys. But anything for my mom, who told me that I am very popular on this site and her readers might like to hear from me.

Here’s a little about me in case you are new or haven’t seen my pictures yet. I am 7 months old and my mom and dad took me home in April. I am a shih tzu and weigh about 7 pounds (I am only telling you this since it’s a health and fitness blog and think you might be wondering). I don’t know my height, but it’s short. I am pretty sure I’m within an appropriate range so don’t worry.

It took me a few months to teach them the ropes (they tried to put me in a crate to sleep at night!), but I’ve got them wrapped around my finger now. And I sleep on their big king sized bed too. It’s so soft and comfy.

Now I will tell you about one of my days. Isn’t that what she writes about on here? Let’s take yesterday for example. My mom told me that we were going to sleep until 6 a.m. I woke her at 5:30. She told me to go back to bed. I said no and sat next to her staring at her until she got up to take me outside. Heh heh heh.

Then she said that she was going to do yoga for an hour and I should go back to bed or play with my toys. I did that for a little while, but I got bored. So I sat on her mat, pulled her hair, licked her hands, and barked. She got real annoyed and then couldn’t finish her podcast, whatever that is. I win again.

I ate a little breakfast (Avoderm chicken and rice puppy kibble if you were wondering), we walked outside, and then I got in trouble for eating things I wasn’t supposed to. How am I supposed to know? I’m just a dog. I also poo pooed in her closet while she wasn’t looking. I had to go! I’m still not good at giving a warning.

For my daily fitness, you won’t find me training for any races. I walk a house or two and play fetch inside.

Here are some pictures of me that I posed for doing different things during the day like sitting, resting, and playing. I’m real cute.

This is me with my dad watching sports. He likes to watch TV when he’s home, and I just like it when he holds me and scratches my back. I don’t know what sports are anyway.

This is me before bed. I get real tired and fall asleep fast. I love my bed.

I hope you have a good weekend! My mom will be back on Monday to entertain you again…after she feeds and plays with me, that is.
