| Well, Mitzi really changed my life... she was the main reason why I decided to stay in the USA and marry my husband... after one week of knowing him and swearing before to never ever marry again or even to consider a relationship... I thought that if a man is man enough to commit himself to such a tiny little doggie, takes care of her all by himself for years and even includes her in his proposal, he can't be a bad guy. I sure gained a few lbs. since then but I blame it on America... |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | LMAO!! I wonder too! My life has changed, like instead of going out I stay home with my bf and the dogs. I still do exercise so I haven't gained weight cause of them. Everywhere I go I check if it's dog friendly and if it's not I don't feel like going....lol

| Our lives definately revolve around Wes and Maddie. Since I already work 40 hours a week, I try to spend every moment I can with them. They haven't made me gain weight though. Actually because of them, I get up from the couch at night and get up early on the weekends to walk and play w/ them. |

| Since my children are grown, I made an exercise room. This means I moved exercise equipment into an unused playroom and put a playpen in there for the dogs. They play with toys or watch me and whine while I'm exercising. I do find myself eager to get home if I'm on errands. I usually leave something for another day if I'm out more then 2 hours. Since there have been Coyote attacks in my area and someone found a litter of Coyote pups in his yard, I'm afraid to walk them even in a stroller. I plan on walking them in the stroller in an enclosed mall. They need to be out of the house and not so isolated from people. Jessica |

| well my husband decided that he didn't like dogs, or me, so we left. And I lost 25kg, I've made a whole heap of new friends through agility, and a few international ones through YT. So I guess my life's changed LOTS! bless the lil fuzz bags! I race home and don't work late anymore. And i'll prolly never get a boyfriend cos despite now being skinny and single I spend my friday nights at home with the furkids and spend my weekends dog walking. LOL!

| Actually, mine would make me skinnier if I let her... and if I walked her like she wanted (I think my Abbie is a marathon runner in disguise), then oh boy I'd be really skinny. Now, it's my other dog the lovely SHIH TZU that made me fat... no, just kidding. I love my Shih Tzu. Actually it's me who makes me fat, I love to eat. LOL!!! Truly though, I used to go to the gym until I got dogs, now my exercise is "walking the dogs", but I love it and wouldn't change a thing. My gym increasing it's rates by 100% didn't have a thing to do with my cancelling my membership, nooooo (NOT! ) i'd rather walk dogs, it's cheaper and more pleasurable.

| Well... I can say I still have some control over here... I have 2 furgirls so I know if I have to leave for a few hours they'll keep each other company... They don't like being left behind but they get lots of goodies/treats when I go out... But as most of ppl here I always keep an eye on the watch to come home asap I used to go to gym 6 days week and spend about 3 hours there... now I'm not going anymore... Back to the question: No, I didn't get any weight after I've got Maggie & Hannah... |

| Sounds good to blame the dogs but no it's all me and my bad eating habits. |

| I wish I could blame my yorkie for all of the weight I ahve gained in the last few years. The thing that has changed is I make most of my decisions on what I can and cant do by whether or not someone will be there to take care of them. I dont visit my kids near as often as I used to. |
