Bio:
OK !, so I was a little bugger as a pupper but now that I'm grown I have my family wrapped 'round all four paws! I am THE great entertainer of the house. Not only can I make you laugh by the comical things I do but I can do it just by giving you one of my silly looks . At 6 yrs. old I'm still pretty rambunctious. My brother Copper has taught me that being gentle and sweet has it's benefits too. My favorite all time fun is playing with my tennis balls. Dad can mention the words 'cook on the grill' ,'throw the ball', and my tail starts wagging fiercly as I look for one of my many tennis balls and head to the back door. Although I play hard, when it's time for bed, I'm the first to hit the king size bed I sleep in. Of course I let Mom & Dad sleep with me but will growl if they try to move me from my spot. I'm really glad I grew out of my bad puppy stage. Many times I think I have heard Mom say she would have paid to get rid of me. Surely not!

Well, I haven't written in my diary until now. I didn't have much to say but now I'm upset and have to vent! Do they call it venting for guys? Or is that just for girls? OK, maybe letting off some steam!

Here Christmas is coming. You know, the season of lots of treats, turkey and a cookie every now and then? Well Mom and Dad took me to the doctor the other day. Yes, Mom AND Dad. You see, I'm stronger than most puppers of the golden breed. I have lots of muscles. It's muscles Mom and Dad, muscles! Anyway, Mom can't handle me by myself and I was due for those terrible shots and poking and prodding by the doc. He clipped my nails and even did something unmentionable to my hiney. And whewwwieee the smell when he did!

So anywho, the bottom line was he said I needed to lose 30 lbs.! C'mon, 30? I thought maybe 5 or 10, but 30? geeezzz! I heard Mom say, "He weighed a whopping 114 lbs. Is that alot? I mean it's just muscle. My brother Copper weighed in at 74 lbs. I think he just looks puny but the dr. said that was a perfect weight for him. But hey! I think 114 is perfect for me. Right? Ok, well maybe not, Mom says she wants me around a long time and to be healthy so she wants to make some changes. Firrrrrsst....no more people food! Can you believe it??? No more of Daddy's grillin', no more left over meatloaf, no McDonalds, NOTHING! And get this. No more treats when somebody comes home, or when somebody goes outside and comes back in, or if I go out and come back in, or when me or somebody goes upstairs and comes back down. Yeah, I had 'em trained to do that. All I get now is dry dog food that goes away if I don't finish it in the allotted amount of time, and an occasional SMALL bite of meat just cause Mom or Dad is feelin' sorry for me.

The doc said they could bring me in from time to time to have me weighed but since I made such a scene, Mom just measured me and is gonna keep track of it that way until I have to go back for something else. My chest was 36" and my tummy 34 and 1/2". I will keep everyone posted on how I do. It's gonna be hard!
