Although I’m trying to forget, some of you may recall back in the spring at my annual physical Dr. Doug said the dreaded “D” word to me. Yes, I had to go on a diet. So for the past few months I’ve been watching what I eat, laying off the treats despite being a “very good boy,” and getting plenty of exercise. Well the time of reckoning had arrived. I went to our local pet store to be weighed.

I’m not going to lie. I was nervous as I approached the scale. Did I shed those few extra pounds? Am I the same weight? Or worse yet did I gain more?

I did it! I lost those three pounds and I’m now back within a good weight for my frame! Now off to the treat section to celebrate!
