Abbey's Life

Weight loss

Well, for the past few weeks I have been on a diet (not my decision, the family). I thought I looked o.k and felt pretty good. However, after Rick my dog friend who stayed for awhile left I had to go on a diet. He was a little chubby and was on a diet, so my family thought it was best I go on a diet too. That darn Rick if I knew he was going to cause me to go on a diet, I do not think I would let him come for a visit. Oh well, my diet is going good as I do look thinner and have more energy. I think I lost a pound in two weeks which is good. I need to lose 5 more pounds. I will get weighted again in 2 weeks to see how it is going. The only complaint is I do not get human food, and I am always hungry. I hate diets

Oh no another strict diet

It has been decided (not by me) I have to go on another much stricter diet. No human food at all. I guess I gained a lot of weight, and you could really notice when I was with Rick. Rick is about my size but much thinner. His mom has him on a diet, and so my family has decide I need one too as I am fatter than him. I going on longer walks, and running 3 times a week for 1 hour and half. I love to run so that does not bother me. What does bother me is I have to cut back on human food, and a little on my wet dog food. It is really not fair.
I guess losing weight will help my back so I should be excited to lose weight so my back does not hurt so much

Company

On Wednesday afternoon my mom came home with my dog friend Rick. Rick is younger wheaten mix. I was glad to have him come for a visit. After he came over he went outside where the neighbor dog jumped the fence and invited herself over to play with us. I first I thought it was a little rude, but soon found myself having fun playing with both Dakota and Rick. Soon we went for a walk together. I showed him my neighborhood. Since he is younger than me, he walked a lot faster, but stopped often to smell the neighbors yard. We went home, and had dinner. In the evening we just hung out together getting to know Lucy and Nikita. Neither one of them really liked him, but I told him to keep trying to get them to like him, and eventually the would give in, and be his friend.

The next morining we got up together went outside and barked at the newspaper delivery man, and then went on a nice long walk. In the evening we had a cook out in the backyard as the weather was nice. Both Rick and I got a hamburger. We also went on a long evening walk, and did some errands with the family.

Today we went for a long walk, and he went to the dog park with me. It was fun as we played together at the dog park. When we got home both our paws were so dirty we had to get them washed together in the bath tub. It took mom a long time to clean out the tub.We also went to the pet store for dog, and cat food and we both go two dog biscuits. Later in the afternoon Rick went home. I was so happy to have another dog live with me, and had fun. I hope we get to take care of him again
