Never before have the Elders accepted a dog so close to the limit while still under one year of age. While they wouldn't want to discourage a dog from losing weight if it needed to, we don't need sub-7-pound spies in our ranks.

What to do, what to do.

The deciding factor was the accompanying video with Cookie's application. It was unprecedented and reinforced her perfect fitness and all-around adorableness. The Elders, looking for hard facts to back their opinions, reasoned that if she just bit into a nasty frog and vomited twice, it proves she had an empty stomach at weigh-in. A bowel movement couldn't be expected without more food, hence would not drop her below 7 pounds.

Therefore, after this long harangue, we are DELIGHTED to inform you that Cookie is in the club! She is on probation until she reaches 1 year of age, but we are confident we get to keep her. Just tell her to stay away from those icky frogs!

Good news. Cook just turned one year old last Thursday, and weighed in at a solid 7 lbs, 7 ounces today at weigh-in at the vet (needed to pick up some Hesrtgard and Comfort is). So no more probationary membership!
