Double "D" and a Birthday

Shock - Horror - What do you mean I have to go on a diet?
The Mom says she has been a bit worried about me lately - see I eat a lot less then Reilly and I am a VERY VERY slow eater plus we are going for way more walkies here in Florida  than we use too in Arkansas - and Mom says I should be losing weight but in fact the opposite is happening.  I tried telling Mom it was just all my 'he' muscles I was building up from the extra exercise but she didn't believe so off we went  shaking and trembling  to see Dr W.

Now Mom and Reilly say he is a wonderful vet but you can't fool me - no way - he is big and tall and looms over a small doggie like a dark sinister shadow in the night. Sure he was gentle and told me what a beautiful boy I was and what a wonderful coat I have (one that he rudely couldn't keep his hands out of I might add!) But he wasn't fooling me....no sir reeeeee - I knew he was really a blood sucking vet vampire and I was right - cause you know what he did - he STOLE my blood not once but TWICE and then had the nerve to put a girlie PINK bandage on my leggie both times! Anyway the results came back yesterday and I have the same problem Reilly has - very low thyroid. Now we both have to take medication and mom has pulled the nasty double "D" on me - the Dastardly Diet !!!! Doesn't she know there is is just more of me to love? She says she wants to love me for a VERY long time to come and can only do that if there is less of me ...... so this is the way it has to be - sigh - you just can't reason with Mom's sometimes.

Today is also our Dad's birthday and we both totally love and adore him. Mom says we are are both Daddy Boys as he the one we go to on the rare occasions we want a cuddle :) Today we will be giving him some extra ones - Happy Birthday Dad :)

  7. Happy Birthday to your dad, dads are the best! Diets are terrible but we found a secret weapon - the brand Toby eats comes in a "LITE" version… we switched to that and kept the amount the same…we are on the second bag and within just a few pounds of his goal weight of 55, down from 69! Soon our doggy diet days will truly be behind us. As your Mom knows, extra weight isn't good for you. We want you and Toby around for many years to come. Smart mom to visit the vet. I wouldn't have thought of the thyroid issue.

  14. Well Happy Birfday to your daddy....we are sorry you had to get stuck and med and a diet, your momma takes such good care of you. Our auntie Dixie who has three twins of you guys, found out her girl Emma who is around 6 has to take Lasix and a heart pill now, she was having troubles breathing and after xrays found fluid around her heart. We are glad both of you is going to be okay.....stella rose

  15. Well, first off, happy birthday to your Dad - hope you all get some cake.

    What is it with all this thyroid stuff? Thunder and Ciara both had/have to deal with it. Mom is hoping Lightning won't. We are having trouble again getting Dr. Fosters and Smith to have that soloxine in stock. We may have to try a different supplier this time.

    Hope the diet isn't too bad, Denny. We see some green beans in your future dinners:)

    Woos - Ciara and Lightning
