Phantom wants to thank all of you for the fantastic birthday wishes he received. You are all so nice to celebrate with him.
Well, he told Mom to say thank you, he is having a sleep-in sort of day today.
Meanwhile, another of us decided he really wanted to be helpful and thoughtful - all for Mom!!!
C'mon, Mom - it's that time again - time for those exercises. I am here to help you so it won't be so bad for you.
I am right here to check the angle of that leg bend and stretch.
OK. Now let's try the leg lifts. I am here to be sure you keep that back flat. No arching now.
Maybe this IS hard work. Let's just take a little break, Mom, and maybe I will use your tummy for my pillow.
OK, let's go, good power nap, now back at it. Let's do those thingies using the rubber bands. I think you have moved up to the blue ones now. Last week was green. Guess we must be doing something right.
I think your therapist will be happy with your progress today. Now how about a reward for my thoughtful help?
I will even give you a cute pose:)
Woos - Lightning and sleepy Phantom
what would your Mom do without your help Lightning?
ReplyDeleteYour mom is for sure going to get way better with you helping her out Lightning! We're glad that Phantom had a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou are the most thoughtful furbaby ever-helping your mom as much as you do. So glad that Phantom partied and is resting today.
ReplyDeleteStay warm, you'd love all the white stuff here.

Aw what great pictures you guys are so beautiful!!

I have to lock myself in the bedroom to do exercises. I have all ten trying to sit on me and help. That gives a new meaning to weight lifting.
ReplyDeleteThat must be comfy for Phantom to lie in that carrier with his back up against the side of it. Our dog Jasmine who has now gone to the bridge, really liked to lie flat up against the wall.
ReplyDeleteGlad you all are such a big help to the Mom with her exercises. We are sure it helps her a lot.Take care.
Oh, I'm so sorry that I missed Phantom's birthday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, PHANTOM! Hope it was pawesome! And Lightning, what a great exercise helper you are for your Mom! I think you deserve a bunch of treats for your kindness :)
ReplyDeleteStewey
Bet that sure made the exercise a LOT easier, well the cute pose was worth it!
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Scots
Lightning if my mom had a trainer as handsome as you she said she'd exercise all day long.
ReplyDeleteSince today is true confession I can tell you Mom just told you a fib!
Not about your handsomeness that is true! but about exercising
Hugs Madi your bfff
I can see that Phantom is recovering from all that partying! I can also see that some sweet person put a towel under his head to make it like a soft pillow. How sweet!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Lightning! You're really stepping up, big boy! I have a trainer who's a lot like, except that he's jet black. Do you and R exchange notes on how to coach your humans when they do their back exercises? I hope so. I'm so happy to see you being helpful.
Just WHAT would your mom do without YOUR HELP.
ReplyDeletelightning,
ReplyDeletegood job, dude! the hoomans have a short attention span when it comes to the exercisin'. you kept your mama workin' hard! pro tip: if your mama tries to wuss out like mine and bends over panting, give her a goose with your gooey nose. works every time! TEEHEEHEE.
*woof*
the booker man
A good friend always helps you workout!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to help your mom out, Lightning! And it seems like you had a great birthday, Phantom! We're sure you needed a nice long nap after all that partying. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're a good helper! Mom just LOVES it when I try to help her with yoga. After all, I'm an expert at down dog. ;)
ReplyDeleteNola
Y'all are just the best looking helpers ever!
ReplyDeleteWith eyes like yours Lightning how could your Mom resist doing what you say.
ReplyDeletexo Cinnamon
Lightning, I think you make those exercises so much better and easier for your mom. Apparently I need to find a new mom since we missed Phantom's birthday. And to think, Mom tells me that Phantom has a special place in her heart....how could she let me miss his birthday? Happy belated birthday, Phantom! I hope you got some extra snuggle time!
ReplyDeleteLIghtning...I also just love helping people exercise. They just can't seem to do it well enough on their own.
ReplyDeleteNora
Wow! That's the way to make exercising fun --- hire a fluffy assistant to supervise!!
ReplyDeleteNow who could resist doing excersies with you as their cheerleader.
ReplyDeleteGood job Lightning! I like to help my Mommy with her back exercises too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Phantom!!!
BOL BOL
Mommy feels bad she missed her favorite boys birthday, I hope it was fun and happy.
Loveys Sasha
Isn't helping Mamas with exercises the FUNNEST!! We just love to help Mama with her Doga!!! Funny tho, she doesn't seem to appreciate it much ;-)
ReplyDeleteSmileys!

OMD! I help my dad with his exercises too. For some reason he is always trying to get me to leave him alone.
ReplyDeleteWalter
You should start your own business. Personal trainer.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Lightning! All the time I thought you were a self=absorbed,
ReplyDeleteplayboy kind of dog. Now I see you working on exercises with your Mom and that is a very good thing!
Maybe tomorrow Phantom will be up and about and can give you some pointers on this kind of thing.
Cheers,
Jo, Stella and Zkhat
What an awesome personal trainer you are Lightning! Let's get momster back in tiptop shape so she doesn't hurt anymore.
ReplyDeleteSweet dreams, Phantom. We are doing the same on this cold and rainy day.
Happy Belated Birthday Phantom!! Sorry we missed it, but I hope it was a good one. (besides the vet visit)
ReplyDeleteYou are quite the little helper there Lightning! That is just AWESOME the way you help your mom!!
The dogs never help me like that, but Boxer the cat cheers me on for moral support. :)
Lightning how could mum do her exercises without you? We should start calling you coach. Hugs and kisses to sweet Phantom from Ancient Pip. She says you can't get too many naps at our age.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
We couldn't think of a cuter exercise coach if we tried. If you were here perhaps Mum would actually DO some exercise, he he.

Hi Lightning and Phantom!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Phantom is recovering after his Birthday, he looks so very cute all cuddled up sleeping! Mum just got a new and scarf hat combo that looks like a wolf, I think she wants to join your pack like I have, she is jelly of our sexy sibe-ness!
Lightning you are so helful, you are a great motivator and spotter for your Momma to do her excercises! I help my mum too, when she does her sit-ups I lean over and kiss her, it helps her count them! Lightning you have such beautiful eyes, I say it time and time again but you really are GORGEOUS!
