Are You as Fit as You Think?

How fit are you?  Is that a confusing question?  Probably because it depends on how you measure fitness.  I workout, so I'm pretty fit, but then my husband talked me into getting a puppy.  When he was 8 weeks old?  His head was bigger than mine.

Yep.  That puppy is now 100 pounds and, maybe I'm fit to lift some weights and do some kickboxing, but I'm not fit enough to control 100 pounds of excited dog who wants to run across the street to visit...well...everyone.

Note to self:  Avoid puppies with big heads.
