And to prove it, you only have to look at this video of me jumping over my friend Shadow. I can tell you that after all that leaping I was jolly glad to have a lie down on my Eco Nap.
KEEP FIT VIDEO
After all the talk about healthy eating (see 'Working Weekend' 4th March and 'Lack of Treats' 12th March) she's now muttering about an exercise regime, though thankfully I think it's for her rather than me as I am, of course, at the peak of fitness.
LACK OF TREATS
Honestly, that was a bit of a swizz on Saturday at the 'Natural Feeding Open Day' (see 'Working Weekend 4th March). I got short-changed again at breakfast and it wasn't even an agility day (see Snakes and Ladders 21st Feb). She said it was because no doubt I was going to be scoffing lots of samples later on and she didn't want me losing my trim figure. She, on the other hand, had her usual bowl of porridge and honey and then still tucked into the chocolate digestives during the break - 's not fair.
Anyway, Rebecca the lovely lady representative from Natures Menu, took pity on me and sneaked me quite a few of their banquet nuggets and then also presented me with a packet of beef treats for being such a good boy. I was just about to make sure that they really were '95% pure meat' when the packet was whipped away, "Oh, thank you SO much, Turbo will really enjoy earning those at his next agility class." Excuse me, I thought I'd already earned them by posing for the paparazzi sent along by the local paper and doing endless bows and begs to amuse everybody.
Still, at least I didn't have to wear a coat though it did take us absolutely ages to leave as she couldn't decide which collar or harness I should have on - the utility room at home resembles a tack room what with mine and Silver's accoutrements collection. In the end she settled on the Moo Cow Step-in Harness as it didn't clash with what she was wearing and she seemed to think that people would make the connection between cows and the fact that I'm a cattle dog - pathetic.
WORKING WEEKEND
Hmmm, I've just been told that I'm to earn my keep this Saturday at the 'Natural Feeding' Open Day. I'm going to have to stand around in the Collarways' showroom looking a right twerp, sorry, "a picture of vitality and good health", whilst she goes on about how she's a BARFer and that I'm only fed as "nature intended" on raw bones and food.
Then I expect I'm going to have to prance around showing off my muscular physique whilst she tells anybody who'll listen that right from a puppy I had to gnaw and chew my way through raw venison backs, lamb and chicken bones and even bison ribs which is what has given me my rippling muscles and gleaming tartar-free teeth. She's even got this embarrassing video clip of me as a pup tackling a bit of venison which I bet she adds to this post (done). She also tends to go on and on about how wonderful she thinks the Nature's Menu range of raw minced vegetables and meat is for supplementing the raw bones - it's the closest I ever get to a fast food feast.
Anyway it might not be so bad if enough of you fans turn up to see me and I get lots of pats, and you sneak me some of the Nature's Menu samples which are really meant for the visitors. I'm also going to be modelling my favourite collars and harnesses (10% off everything on the day). So that you don't miss me, you'd better check out the 'Open Days' section of the Collarways site at http://tinyurl/collarways for times and special offers. Look forward to giving you a lick.

FLIRTING IN THE NEW FOREST
Well, I REALLY enjoyed the Turbo Tour walk last Sunday (see my profile if you don't know about Turbo Tours). Whilst all the humans were twittering on about how gorgeous the New Forest was looking and what simply splendid weather it was for a long walk, I'd spotted /whiffed that young Millie the gorgeous Golden Retriever might well be susceptible to a little bit of male attention. "Oh no, she can't be in season," her owner kept on saying to everybody who commented that Millie seemed to be flirting quite a lot but I suspected otherwise. Unfortunately so did Charlie the black lab and Wilson the Weimaraner even though we've all been "done". However with a bit of ducking and weaving I soon assumed pole position trotting along after Millie as she led us all a merry dance. All harmless fun and I did manage one sneaky sniff (above), well at least that's one advantage of short legs .
I did used to have quite a thing for Sophie the Dobermann and I must say that she was looking particularly fetching in her new pink harness on Sunday (right) but for some reason she seems to have run out of that wonderful perfume she used to wear occasionally.
I've got a feeling it's something to do with that nasty antiseptic smell she was covered in a couple of years ago. Millie's owner was being given lots of advice by all the humans so I suspect that that's the last time she's going to be such fun to walk alongside.
