Yeah for me!

Sammy on Health - Thu, July 10 2008

Mom got me weighed the other night (when she took me to the vet to get my rear squeezed) and I was down to 10.5 pounds. That's amazing, or so my mom says. I started at about 14 pounds. We're going to keep working on it til I'm between 8 and 9 pounds because they say that's where a dachshund should weigh (whoever 'they' are). I love that mom calls me skinny minny and praises me all the time. I guess it's not a bad thing to be healthier. Maybe I won't hurt my back/neck again!

Good job! our mom says most of us need to lose weight. Tell us-what is your weight loss secret? Congrats on the weight loss. It's always better to be a little on the skinny side with these long backs that we've got.

You are so pretty, Sammy! Good for you losing weight.

Congratulations on your trim figure. It's better for your health to have shed a few pounds. You look smashing!

Cocoa, my mom got me this food from the vet called OM (Overweight management). I get 1/2 c twice a day and sometimes I don't even eat it all. It's full of fiber so it makes me feel full faster. Definately working!
