| Chachi and his first day on the treadmill LOL We just got a new treadmill and the whole family is into getting fit. Chachi is about 3 lbs overweight and in the winter we really dont take walks so we thought it would be good to train him to walk on the treadmill. Well first let me tell you he really doesnt like anything about the treadmill he wont even go in the room its in. But he really looks up to and trusts my Husband so my Husband has just been pickiing him up and taking him in the room when he goes on his walks. He put a harness on him today and put him on the 1st setting and chachi is kicking his back legs and trying to get off so we have a long way to go so wish us luck. Im sure he will get it in time it is just unnatural feeling to him right now

| Chachi will either pick it up and like it or hate it and never get on it.

| My little Willow is so afraid the Treadmill. My Lizzie who I just lost loved walking on the treadmill. Allie will sometimes want to walk on it, but not very much. Maybe two minutes at most.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | How fun! I hope he will like it! Katie Scarlett has never even seen a treadmill. I may see what she thinks about one when we go to visit my parents at Christmas.

| We had Ringo walking regularly on the treadmill last winter. Problem was - we had to give him so many treats to stay on . . . I'll bet he gained weight! Lucy likes to run and jump on as soon as I turn it off - but she hates it if I try to put her on there. Good Luck!
