that was supposed to be slim me down from 20 TO 10 !
~Sorry!~

Yep, it's worth it. We long dogs have to stay as close to our ideal weight as possible. Don't worry, I'm sure mommy will slip you a yummy morsel ONCE in a while!

My understanding is that vets are like human doctors. Always wanting to weigh you, then when they find out what you weigh, they want you to lose some weight. Well why did they weigh you in the first place if they weren't going to like the number? I'm supposed to stay around 9# but it's really hard. Is 10 a reasonable weight for you that the doctor told you to get to? You could just be a bigger "tweenie" doxie like Chase and Blitzen. Of course I think they each need to lose about a pound as well. 10#s is the standard for minis but if you're a big boned girl you can weigh a little more(as long as you're not being shown). Good luck with the diet. Green beans and carrots are good foods that make you feel full but don't add calories(but you might have stinky farts).

You look fine to me! Diets are not for weinies though! I crack myself up!!!!! heehee

I am around 9-10 lbs myself. I used to eat Beneful until I had to be on Prescription dog food. My sister still gets Beneful and loves it. Secretly, I go and lick her bowl after she's done eating 'cause I miss my Beneful! We get carrots as treats and dad sneaks us popcorn.

I am about 11 pounds now and mom says I am getting heavy. She thinks its because I get so many treats while in my puppy classes. I say...keep the classes and treats coming!!!
