Gracie visited the vet’s office on Saturday for a nail trim. They have a big scale in the lobby so I thought it might be a good idea to get a current weight. Unfortunately, she has gained another pound, putting her at 19 pounds.
The extreme heat has greatly shortened our daily walks. We try to get as much exercise as we can. At some point, though, you have to cut back for your health as well as your pet’s health. She simply refuses to walk any further, and I really cannot blame her.
I realize some may say, “What’s another pound?” As I have learned with Maddy, a little weight problem can quickly balloon into a HUGE problem if not carefully monitored. I am not going to make the same mistake with Gracie.
Sorry, sweetie, it is time to cut back on the treats and reduce the food intake. Don’t worry. Cooler weather will be here in a few weeks. We can resume the big walkies soon!
