Daisy cuddling with her papa

 As you’ve probably already noticed, Daisy LOVES her Daddy! What dog doesn’t??? Here’s a Shout Out to all the Woof Woof Papa’s we know and admire! In celebration of Father’s Day, I’ve rounded up a few photos and facts about some famous fathers and their dogs:

President Obama and Bo the First Dog

First up in the lineup of famous dads and their dogs: President Obama and the First Dog, Bo! Bo is a Portuguese Water Dog. This fur kid joined the Obama family in the White House in 2009. We heard that Bo gets to hang out with his papa in the Oval Office and goes with the family on vacations…even to Hawaii! President Obama sounds like a wonderful Woof Woof Papa to us!

 

John Legend with his dog

 The coolest musical dad might just be John Legend. He has 2 dogs: an English Bulldog named Puddy, and French Bulldog named Pippa. He sure knows how to spoil his pups and was recently snapped by the pup-arazzi having brunch with his fur kids!

 

Mark Zuckerberg and his Puli pup, Beast

Representing the social media dads is Mark Zuckerberg seen here with his Puli pup, Beast. Mark made sure that HIS fur kid was included in his recent wedding ceremony – Beast walked Mark’s wife Priscilla Chan down the aisle! This doggy daddy also lets Beast have his own Facebook page!

 There is no shortage of hot dads with dogs and we happen to have a crush on Ryan Gosling. He took his mutt George with him on the Jimmy Fallon Show, and we heard he even got kicked out of yoga for taking George there, too! Silly Papa!

 

Bob Barker animal rights activist

Everyone knows Bob Barker as the beloved host of the TV Game Show, The Price is Right, but did you know that this dog dad is also an avid animal rights activist? Not only has he raised and cared for his own dogs, but Papa Barker donated more than $2 Million of his own money to animal causes! We think that makes him PAW-tastic!

So those are a few of our favorite Famous Fathers  with their dogs. We salute each and every Puppy Papa and Doggy Daddy and wish you all a very Happy Father’s Day from Woof Woof Mama and Daisy, too!!! Leave a Comment letting us know about YOUR favorite Woof Woof Papa!!!

K9 Kamp Week 4 Highlights: Kamper’s Choice!

doggy step aerobics with Daisy

WOW…It’s the final week of K9 Kamp! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed it as much as we have! This week’s K9 Kamp Fitness Challenge was ‘Kamper’s Choice’ meaning do whatever fitness activities you and your dog enjoy most. Well, we did that the first week during the Walking on Sunshine Challenge since walking is our favorite and most frequent activity. So this week we decided to try working on a few tricks and skills, and added a fitness-spin on them by incorporating my fitness ball and aerobic step. For those of you who are young enough to have missed out on the step aerobics craze, here’s a funny and retro flashback. I love that Gilad had a parrot in his workout videos!:

Anyway, this week was mostly for fun. I did a few ab crunches on the ball and made a game of stepping up and down on the step with Daisy.  As usual, I got a pretty decent abdominal workout from laughing so much!

Daisy Step Up

Step Up Step Down: We like to practice climbing on and off of the agility equipment at the dog park so I thought it would be fun to make a game of it at home using my old aerobic step which doesn’t get much use these days (My current favorite is doing Zumba with the Wii or DVD set!) We took turns stepping on and off and once Daisy figured out what to do it was fun to try to get on the step before she got off. She got super excited and bumped me off the step a few times trying to get the treats I was using as incentive!

Daisy fitness ball

Fitness Ball Fun: I use my stability ball fairly often so it’s always sitting out for Daisy to poke at and chase around the room. With Papa’s help we’ve been teaching her to stand on the ball. Her legs still tremble and one of us has to hold the ball so she doesn’t fall off, while the other one encourages her with treats and a helping hand, but she’s getting the hang of it! Since he was busy the day I decided to try to get photos, this was about the best shot I could get on my own! It’s a work in progress…
