sweating to the Iditerod

So, when i was younger, my mother used to iron to the "Sweating to the Oldies" videos...I never saw her "sweat" to these videos, but they seemed to be great for ironing...she always told me she was "preparing" by watching them thoroughly....
Well, tonight, marco and I just watched 2 hours of the iditorod (yes i am aware that we are losers, but cute dogs in beautiful alaska? its a win-win). Now, Chloe loves watching dogs on TV. We often watch dog-based shows just to see her watch TV, and whine and walked up to the TV and nose it...once she actually licked the TV screen, much to my husband's dismay....well, it seems as if WATCHING the Iditerod has tired her out....she has been sleeping for basically the last hour soundly on the floor (also an odd thing, as she is a spoiled brat and usually sleeps on the green recliner with blankets), which for those of you who know Chloe, is highly unusual, as she is either usually causing havoc by eating toilet paper, chasing bagheera, or whining to be let out... or sitting drectly on top of marco and I , pawing and licking us to death....but no, she is comotose on the floor...everyone once in a while, the TV will make dog sounds and her ears will move, but literally that is the extent of the activity....i guess WATCHING the dogs do strenous activity was just too much for her...I do have to remember this is the dog that needed a 20 minute nap AT spring lake park last time we walked there before we headed back. For those non-townies, its like 1/3 of a mile form our house, if that, across flat ground. We thought we were going to have to carry her 8 lb ass back to the house...clearly, she is beyond domesticated....I wish we could trade out her lazy gene and get rid of her need to hunt squirrels and possums in our back yard....silly spotted doggy..
