Birthday: October 1st 1999 Likes: Playing and cuddling with Mommy, eating, seeing his former foster pals, shredding any piece of paper that touches the ground. Pet-Peeves: Not being able to see or follow Mommy, not being served food first, honks and whistles. Favorite Toy: None yet, but he loves to be tickled and chased around. Favorite Food: Royal Canin Rabbit & Potato, plain rice cakes, Charlie Bear treats. Favorite Walk: Around the neighborhood. Best Tricks: None yet, but we are working on Down. Arrival Story: Bel Vey was rescued after spending his life as a stud dog for a breeder. We agreed to foster him to help him lose weight (the rescue jokingly nicknamed him the "Square Maltese"). The minute I saw him, I knew I would never be able to let him go. We bonded since day one and I am absolutely crazy about him. Forums Motto: Let's eat!

For those of you who have been following my weight loss challenge, I just have one thing to say:
I DID IT!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
When I was adopted last June, I weighed over 12 lbs and needed to lose at least 5 pounds. I've been saying that I needed to lose half of myself and, well, it's done! I now weigh 6.5 wonderfully light pounds! :D
I feel like a brand new maltese! I am much more active and I feel great.
I would like to offer a word of encouragement for those of you who are living with a dreaded diet: don't give up!
Well, I got some more good news yesterday! Grandma took me to see the dogtor to have me weighed again. Well, it turns out that I lost some more weight! YIIIPPPEEEEE!!! :D He said I now weigh 8.3 lbs. Isn't that wonderful?! :) Mommy says she is very proud of me for sticking to my diet (not that I really have a choice! BOL!).
Well, it was my birthday on October 1st and boy did I have fun! :D I turned 9 years old, but I feel like a 9 month old pup! Heeeheeeheeee! Mommy and Grandma sang Happy Birthday to me when I got up. I never had anyone sing to me before! And then, I got a surprise; well, we all got a surprise actually. We got a BIG dollop of baby food on our breakfast! Lamb, YUMMY! :p I got to play with Mommy all day and I had a blast... right up until I had to take a bath. WHAT?! A bath on my birthday?! Well, let's just say I was NOT thrilled... Oh well, at least I was handsome! BOL!
I went to see the ofth... the optfs... *sigh*... the eye dogtor a few days ago. ;) My regular dogtor thought he saw cataracts in my eyes and Mommy wanted to know what was going on with my peepers. Well, as it turns out, I really do have caracts in both eyes. According to Dr. Warren, in about one year, I will become blind if I don't have cataract surgery. Mommy promised me that I won't lose my eyesight. I was glad to hear that; life is too much fun now to miss anything!
