We took the dogs to the vet last week for their annual check-ups. Jedi got his last set of shots. He's fully protected now. He weighed 38 pounds! Wow. Roxy got her shots too. And at 72 pounds she's overweight. The vet would like her to lose about 7 pounds. We've cut back on Roxy's food, adding green beans to give extra fiber and help her feel full. Hubby has promised to cut back on cookies and I vowed to walk the dogs more -- don't ask how that's going. So much for dieting with my dog, hunh? I guess Roxy and I are just a couple of old, fat bitches!
I took Jedi to the beach for the first time last weekend. He wasn't sure he liked the water sneaking up on him (see picture below). He did like all the shells though, and tried to eat every one he could find. I spent most of the time saying "What's that? Drop it. No, don't eat that." I'm glad nobody was around to hear me! Luckily, I was able to take couple of pictures in between shell recovery operations. Isn't he cute? -- K
Yes, he's adorable! Green beans are a good idea to help Roxy feel full. I've also used canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, which has sugar and spices added to it) when Ty needed to take off some weight. He loved it and it has almost zero calories. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable, love the ear action too bad that will go away soon but then he will have grown into the legs and feet. Poor Roxy those last few pounds are so difficult.
