Ashton’s Exercise Routine

Ashton: Did you hear that I’m on a weight loss plan? The vet said I need to exercise. Can you believe it? So I wanted to share my exercise routine with you.ย

Here comes my exercise equipment now. You have to act fast when it shows up. Make sure you schrunch your nose up when you go for it to burn extra calories.

HEY! What the ceiling cat are you doing with my exercise equipment, Newton?

Well, that’s the end of my demonstration, since my exercise equipment has been stolen.

    Ashton make sure you hide your exercise equipment so Newton doesn’t make off with it.

    Now that’s an exercise program I could follow – exercise while stretched out on a comfy bed!

    We like how you didn’t get up much, Ashton, even when you had your equipment. That’s how we exercise too.

    That looks like my kind of exercising, Ashton. From the comfy confines of a blanket filled sofa!

    Exercise is overrated, my cats say. Tis better to watch the action and exercise one’s eyes.

    Seems you are doing the best you can with your exercise routine. Doesn’t seem as if Newton is much of a help with the process. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    Maxwell: dood, uh, you’d better run. I’ll try to hold her back.

    On second thought, look at Allie move. Thats’ the most exercise she’s gotten all week….
