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

    re Jean C’s comment ‘how they got the dog to get up on the treadmill in the first place’:they offered doggie treats!!

    Amazing that there is an assoc for pet obesity prevention. We are certainly so blessed to live in a country where we can create such problems for ourselves and our pets. Let’s celebrate with a low fat, low sugar treat from the pink fridge …. smile.

    At least Chelsea doesn’t have to care about her weight!!! She won’t be the one scolded. :o) I think the pink bow will help ease the scolding. Good thing to send Mr. Bunny Tales.
