The Weigh-In
The weigh-in is tomorrow. No, not for me, for her…
Chelsea has a weigh-in at the vet tomorrow, and we start preparing for it a week in advance. It’s kind of like Weight Watchers. You know the weigh-in is coming, so you cut back for a few days. I hope the bow doesn’t add ounces to the scale. She’s wearing it, because who can resist a plump Chihuahua in a bow? Helps hide the rolls around the collar.
I can tell she hasn’t lost any weight. She feels heavy when I pick her up, and well, she looks heavy too. I’m going to make my husband take her for the weigh-in. He’ll get in trouble and he’ll turn around and blame me. It’s worth it not to have to go.
And then today, in the mail came the solution to Chelsea’s problem. I just couldn’t believe it when I opened the “In The Company of Dogs” catalog! Apparently I’m not alone with this problem. Just look at this!
Hummm…maybe a doggie gym is in order. Will someone local please open one so I can drop her off for an hour every day? Can’t you picture it? Little rooms, each with a treadmill, workout equipment, bowls of water and a TV playing Lassie? I’d even pay a membership fee.
Hugs,
Anne

PS: If they have a doggie treadmill in pink you just have to get it.

I hate weigh ins whether its for me or my dog, Toby. Toby has been gaining steadily in spite of all the walks we take-poor guy. However, it doesn’t help when all the other dog owners and walkers give him doggie treats. And, he is not one to say no! Sigh. I do keep cutting back on his food but those rolls just won’t go away. He DID lose a pound though recently. Hoping he keeps losing as I hate the lectures from the vet.
Chelsea is so cute. Hope the bow helps when she goes to the vet.

SEW talented and SOOOO funny…..you are just the best. I had my morning giggle with my coffee cup in hand. Dangerously close to spilling when I was laughing so hard.
Good luck Chelsea, and just so she feels some empathy, I DO feel your pain!!!
