My Dog Does This Thing....

I think my dog is a perverted old man.
In dog years he between 91-98 years old if you use the old seven years = one human year thing.
So he's old.
He smells.
He has rotten teeth.
He hobbles around pathetically. He has trouble getting up and down stairs. It takes him a half hour to sit down.
He sleeps all day.
He's deaf.

So you'd think his, um, sex drive would be turned off, right? Done? Finito?

Catch this. Every time I start riding the trainer he gets a hard on. He's fixed! He has no scrotum! And yet there it is.
Yep. The hum of the trainer does it every time. He gets up on all four and starts humping the air. He moves closer to the trainer and tries to thrust into it like it's a young virgin pup. He humps across the room, crashing into his sister, and lifting her legs to check out her smell.
It. is. repulsive.
It is also hysterical.

What is up with THAT?

What else do I have to say?
I need to become perfect.
I need my life to become only about the following things:
1. family.
2. bike, run, swim, weights/core. in that order.
3. bike, run, swim, weights/core. in that order.
4. bike, run, swim, weights/core. in that order.
5. no more junk food. no more drinking.
6. no more staying up late.
7. no more sleeping in.
8. no more messing around.

Game on.

It would be lovely to have a Friday night glass of wine and some pizza, though.
haha

That Runner Chick said...

wait a minute, i could have sworn a couple of posts ago you wanted to focus on the fun of racing1 what happened to not worrying about your diet anymore and just enjoying yourself?!

Ange said...

oh I've been starting that plan...over and over and over....because I'm not perfect and I can't stick to All those All the time. I have good intentions you know.
Hmmm...off to have some birthday cake. :)

NOW that story of your dog humping the air is hilarious,Mary! :) Love it....swim/bike/run/core + a glass of wine! :) for sure!

Molly said...

To each his own, eh? My dog spins and air-humps every time we drive past an incredibly stinky cattle ranch in central California. The smell gets him so excited, I roll the windows down to egg him on.

Angela said...

Wow, a rotten-toothed, air-humping dog. Kudos to you for being able to keep going without dying of laughter.

I feel your pain with the "No drinking" rule, but I think Jennifer's suggestion above may be an optimal compromise.

Judi said...

mary - you HAVE to get a video of that dog.

Jennifer Cunnane said...

You MUST continue to still have a glass of wine and pizza occasionally when working so hard! Celebrate your accomplishments "rewards" as you keep training so hard for IM!

Unknown said...

I can't stop laughing at your dog!! That is awesome. So trainer hum is viagra for dogs.

Rainmaker said...

OMG, that's hilarious! Especially when reading at 7 in the morning. haha

Swimming for ME said...

What is up with the new profile? "I'm cool".... we all need more than that. How are you going to draw new readers to your blog with that description?

On the dog thing I had a coment but it is vastly innappropriate....

On the food things I've got to quote Buddha

"all things in moderation."

Speed Racer said...

Maybe it's the sight of you "assuming the position" in your bike shorts? Maybe after all these 99 doggie years, he still thinks you're The One.

And please, don't post the video. Judi may like doggie porn, but that doesn't mean everybody wants to see it!

(PS I pulled the trigger on the Rev3 Aquabike last night. You'd better not bail on me!)
