I've had a ton of workout buddies throughout the years, but there have only been two who have never bailed on me -- my dogs, Yuki and Rudi. Any time of day, no matter what the weather, all I have to do is say (or spell, even) the word "walk" and they're at the door, ready to go.

Maybe you have a fit Fido of your own, or, maybe you've got a furry bundle of joy who likes to lick you like crazy when you get back from the gym (you know, to reward you for all of your hard work). Or, perhaps you have a fluffball who likes nothing more than to cuddle on the couch, and thinks fitness is for the birds (heck, maybe you're a bird person -- I don't know your life!).

Whether you have pets or just love animals, there's a new site you need to check out -- our new sister site, Paw Nation, is live and it is fantastic. There are adorable slide shows, great tips and advice and, of course, some celebrity scoop (what site would be complete without it?). So, once you've checked out all the new diet and fitness news here at That's Fit, head on over to Paw Nation. Smiling and laughing burn calories, right?
