My Dog is Fat and Other News
So a few days ago we took HellHound to the vet for his check up and his shots where we were told he was significantly overweight. This came as bit of shock to me. HellHound has always been stocky and solid, but I never really though of him has fat. So we’ve put him on the vet recommended diet food and he gets no more treats. He’s not too pleased with us. The vet also did some blood tests to confirm that the weight gain was not a result of his thyroid (a common problem with his breed) and for general wellness. All the tests came back good. So three hundred dollars later we learned we had a fat, but otherwise healthy dog.
I have not had a terribly productive writing week thus far, but I’m turning that around today. At least that’s the plan. DS has less than a month left of school and I really want to be done Blood and Bone by the time he’s out.
My kitchen is coming along well. We’ve done the bulk of the painting. We’ll be ordering the new counter top and picking out the tiles for the back splash this weekend, as well as painting the cupboards.
Off to start the day.
Mood: Good

We have an overweight dog and two fat cats. I don’t know how they got that way. Hanging head.
