Weightlifting Takes Chaotic Turn When Yellow Lab Hilariously Tries to Face-Surf Mom
Have you ever tried exercising with your dogs in the room? I've attempted it but have never been successful. They always ask for attention at the most inopportune moments, which can make it incredibly challenging.
But no matter what you or I may have experienced, what happened to this dog mom takes the cake! Not only did this Yellow Labrador add an extra 80 pounds of weight, but she also stuck her backside in the most unfortunate of places.

Oh, my! To say this workout did not go as planned is an understatement. Mom's eyes revealed she knew what would happen when her darling daughter happily brought her toy over. Surprisingly, though, she maintained her position, even as this silly pup added half her weight. After giving her a few significant scratches, Liberty jumped onto the bench instead of Mom's belly, but that was only because it gave her better access to sit on her chest. LOL! This Labrador's tail could not contain excitement as it wagged wildly across Mom's body. Finally, it seemed like it was going to be over as Liberty moved to the side, but before she did, she bid farewell by rubbing her tushy over her mother's face. Understandably, that was enough for Mom to relinquish her position. On the bright side, it's good that her dog Mattis (@mattis_themightylab) didn't try to join in on the fun.

Why Do Dogs Always Interrupt Our Exercise?
Although they can't tell us, we may see this behavior when working out for a few reasons. According to Cuteness, one may be that because we are sweating, we are extra stinky, which our dogs find appealing. Another theory is that this activity is something they find exciting and fun. As pack animals, some might even try to mimic their humans when doing something like yoga and posing in downward dog. They also propose that our dogs may find our soft yoga mats or weights appealing and want to play the game.
People couldn't hold back their laughter. One person shared, "Omg, I can so relate. Never had a home gym workout without a Lab all over me!" It feels impossible most days. Viewer @ollyver_dlab remarked, "She thought your weights were a little light and was trying to ensure you stay strong." This workout buddy indeed showed she could handle more. Another person responded, "Lol, laughed so hard I cried. Thanks." It was a priceless moment.
The next time our dogs interrupt our workout, we'll remember this for perspective. It isn't so bad if we can make it through without extra weight or an undercarriage in our face.
