Weight Control

My poor puppy is what you would call vertically challenged and a little "fluffy". No, it is not from long hair but rather some extra pounds that she is holding on to.

Tink loves her food. When her bowl is empty she brings it to someone so it can filled back up quickly and promptly. The failure to do so will definately end up with one sad pup!

I just can't help but get a laugh from her though. She is precious. The kinda dog that is so ugly, they are cute. One thing about her is that she almost embraces her weight and her looks. You can just tell she doesn't care!

People flock to her. We live in a very dog friendly neighborhood and she is somewhat of a people magnet. She rolls over for belly rubs at the very sight of someone walking her way! If they do not stop to pet her, she is pretty much in awe and will just sit and stare at them as if they are crazy for passing her by.

Well Kaleb said tonight that she was going to have to go on a diet and exercise regiment. My heart ached for her. I have empathy for her challenge because I understand. My poor little pup is facing a challenge that I don't even want to face.

However, I did get a little jealous thinking I wish could rely on someone other than myself to force me into a better diet and excercise regiment.

Geez there more I think about it I realize that I am actually jealous of my dog because she is not going to have to worry! No challenge over stopping to get one more White Chocolate Mocha, Krispy Kreme or Quarter Pounder for her.

If it works for her, I think I will demand that Kaleb take me for daily walks, feed me controled portions and eliminate my snacks! HA
