Maybe she was trying to kiss the frog and find the prince but got carried away! :O

When I was a kid, we had an overweight Dachshund who was a couch potato and the melloest dog ever. But she turned into a frog hunter when we went to a lake loaded with them. She spent all day chasing and sometimes catching them on the beach. I was aghast even then.

Note: This is an automated response. The elders are on vacation whooping it up in Las Vegas and are unable to process any new memberships personally until next month.

However, they programmed the auto response system to accept any perfect applications accompanied by ADORABLE pictures, especially one from a Teapot named Waffles they hoped would be applying.

Welcome to the club, Waffles! We know you could catch those deer if mama would let you.

Automated response complete. You may now return to your regularly scheduled YorkieTalking.

The 7 pound, 3 oz. weight at 10 months, however, brought a great deal of consternation from the skeptics on the Elders panel. That's one healthy bowel movement from the 7 pound cutoff. 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!
