Doberman on Treadmill

Our doberman, Lexie, has learned to run on the treadmill. Yup. It's great. Danny bought the treadmill at a flee market for $40. It took him 2 weeks to train Lexie not to panic when the ground moved. Now she's smart enough to stay on, even when we're out of sight.

One day Danny put her on around 9:30 a.m. and left for work. He told me to take her off around 10:30. Well, I had to do some errands and totally forgot. There were also some workmen on the roof that day. When I got home at noon, the workmen had left for lunch and the yard was deserted, but there was Lexie, galloping along at top speedl! I quickly stopped the machine and she flopped towards her water dish, tongue lolling. After a nap in the sunshine, she was bounding around the yard again--remarkable.
