The first month of my diet

Well Diary, I've been on my yucky diet for almost a month now. Today mom took me to that vet that made me go on a diet, they made me stand on that thing that tells how much you weigh. The lady told mom I weigh 20 pounds and 4 ounces. I have lost 15 ounces! that's almost one pound. Ok. I admit I sneeked downstairs a few times and got some food out of the dish down there but it's hard to stay on a diet all the time. Well, the lady and mom were smiling and they said good job Cory! I guess that means they don't know that I've been sneeking downstairs, hee hee. Mom took us to the dog park this morning and she said if I lost one pound that her and dad would take us back tonight for awhile to celebrate. I didn't quite lose one whole pound but mom said it was close enough so today we got to go to the dog park two times! Mom said if I lose one more pound in one month that she will get me a new toy! I'm gonna try hard, but you know how it is with diets. That's all for now, I gotta go think about what toy I want mom to get me.

I'm Hungry!

Hi Diary, I went to see my new vet and I don't think I like her. First of all she gave me three shots. She tricked me by giving me a treat and then when I was busy eating....she got me! OUCH! Now if that wasn't bad enough she made me stand on a thing that tells how much I weigh. She told mom I weigh twenty one point three pounds. She said this guy has a serious weight problem. I listened to her and mom talk about what to do about my weight and it wasn't sounding good. First of all, no food to be left in the dish so I can eat whenever I want. second, limit treats. Mom knows how much I love my Charlee bear treats, how can she do this to me? For treats I'm supposed to have apples or carrots. Carrots are ok but I don't like the apples. And the worst thing of all is perscription dog food. I don't like that new kind of food, I want my old food back. Mom says I have to get down to fifteen pounds and then she will give me back my old food, I'm trying so hard to be good and stay on my diet but it's hard, especially when I see my brothers eating the good kind of food. Today I found a dish with some of the good food in it and I took a couple of bites. It was sooo good! But then mom saw me and came running, she took the dish away and gave me the yucky diet food. Well diary, I think I'll go take a nap and see if I can at least dream about the yummy good food. bye till next time.

My first camping trip

Last weekend mom, dad, and my brothers Sammy Jo and Toby Jo went to a place called "camping". Dante and Casey had to stay home with our aunt Gale. We had to sleep in a house made out of cloth called a tent. Sammy and Toby got to sleep on the bed with air inside it but I had to sleep in my cage. I was scared at first and I started to cry but mom said "we're right here, Cory". I looked out of my cage and sure enough there was mom and dad and my two brothers right next to my cage so I closed my eyes and went to sleep. The next day mom took us on lots of walks, my favorite walk was on a trail through the woods. Mom took our leashes off and let us run and play in the woods, it was great fun! Our two cousins Skyanne and Tinker came to this place called camping too, I like Tinker, she's little like me but I'm a little scared of Skyanne, she is BIG! One thing I don't like about camping is that we had to be tied up all the time. Mom said it's the rules, all dogs have to be tied up. I kept getting tangled up with Sammy and Toby. I couldn't reach my cousin Tinker, she had to be tied up too. One night mom and dad took me and Sammy, Toby, and Tinker on a boat ride. We got in this thing that floats in the water, it's called a boat. It was fun until dad started it up. It made a loud noise and started moving in the water, I was scared! We went fast through the water but after a few minutes I calmed down and wanted to see the water. I guess camping is kind of fun but I was sooo glad to get home. Mom and dad says we're going again next month, I'm not sure I like it enough to go again so I'm going to see if I can just stay home.
