Ido too. Thanks.

He lost three pounds with no exercise. He's a new dog! More energetic. Slimmer. And can finally breath without wheezing.
Good luck to you and your baby, sending healing vibes and wishes to you!! |
Thanks - it sounds expensive for us us though. We have five dogs and a cat. All six of them think they should have what everyone else has.

Thanks LJ! Everyone but Cassie is on a diet. We are feeding them Blue Buffalo's Healthy Weight. We put it down for one hour each morning. Three to four times a day they each get a piece of Science Diet oral care dog food. My big problem is my husband feeding them people food. Even after the vet looked him straight in the eye and told him that loosing weight would help a lot I still caught him giving the dogs bites of his french fries this afternoon. It's next to impossible to get him to stop. I've written about this problem before. I may just have to get rid of him. (The husband - not the dog.)
