My backyard is boring. I would definitely rather be out adventuring. Fit dog time on road trips, camping, hiking, agility class, at off-leash parks or playing with dog friends anywhere but my in my own backyard is preferred. So when Bethany told Wilhelm, Brychwyn and I about this summer's K9 Kamp theme of backyard fitness and games I sighed a very large and loud collie sigh. How dull!

Well, it turns out, the backyard fitness and games didn't have to be in my own backyard! So we started K9 Kamp with a visit to the Alaskan Klee Kai's backyard (after our game of disc golf at the park.) The grass in their yard is brand new so it is super lush and cool. I was satisfied with cooling off on he grass between chases but Seneca, Brychwyn and Wilhelm joined Bethany and Micheal under the sprinkler water.
Another backyard we visited for fit dog time was the home of our collie friends, Gypsy, Gilly and Ginger. Their backyard is perfect for so many games! We chased, wrestled, played fetch and tugged. In the middle of all our fit dog time, the humans had some fitness time of their own: Bethany led a garden patio Pilates class. The class hour was a good rest time for all us dogs because after the class, we got right back to our own backyard fitness.

| After all of the fun in games we had in other dog's backyards, I realized that my own backyard might not be as boring as I had made it out to be. Wilhelm, Brychwyn and I do have some pretty fun chases, wrestling matches and tugs in our own yard. Brychwyn and Wilhelm even enjoy swimming right behind our house! I am very particular about when I will try out our pool and I'd rather cool off by settling into the shade with a stick to chew on. All in all, I would say I am a very lucky fit dog to have such a variety of fitness activities to do, games to play, friends to play with and so many backyards in which to do it all. |  Fun in our own backyard. |
 Huxley's perfect pool. (Yes, it is empty.) |  What's your favorite fit dog backyard game and do you prefer to play in a friend's backyard or your own? |
