We had a trip to the vet scheduled this afternoon for Butter to get his annual shots and for Dr. Robinson to check Honey's leg again. She is having a sporadic problem with severe limping and last night could not even stand up. :( That is not the reason I'm writing this though, and I will keep you up to date on Honey's problem on another thread, later when I know more.

I started 45 minutes before time to go to get Honey inside so she wouldn't run from me. I was successful with her. But then I discovered that Butter was gone! LOL!! That sneaky boy pushed the storm door open all by himself and went outside! :p Never could catch up with him before it was time to go, but of course he was waiting on the porch for me when I got home!

Anyway......I swear there is a point to this. I took Lilly with me for Honey's visit so she could be weighed and also so Honey wouldn't be so upset :o . Yes, they are spoiled. Honey weighed in at 68 pounds and Dr. Robinson said "No More"!!! Yippee!! I never thought I would hear those words. And Lilly, bless her heart, is down to a little under 85 pounds from a top weight of 97 in October. That's a success story! She is more energetic and feels and looks better than she ever has. Lilly has 4 pounds to go, but that seems easy now. We are over halfway there!!! :)

YAY!!!!!

Good job on the weight loss success! I am so proud of both of the Golden girls. I hope there is nothing too seriously wrong with Honey's leg. Keep us updated!

I gotta run because Reece has a vet appointment in 20 min now.

All right! Hey if your dogs can lose weight maybe I do have a chance with the chunk (Smudge) who only weighs 49 pounds but that's to much for a dog his size especially one that does agility.

Anyhoo congrats Logan

Wow, great you two Golden girls! I know how hard it is to keep those Golden beauties away from any food, so this is quite an achivement.
I hope her leg is okay though.

Great news!

For me it's easier to watch my dogs weight than it is for me to watch mine! I need someone dishing out my portions and telling me ONLY CARROTS when I get the urge for a evening snack! :rolleyes:

I hear ya! Meeee tooooo!

I am really glad to hear about the weight loss in your golden girls, Logan. That's GREAT news! You are doing SUCH a good job with them :) They have such a good momma!

I sure do hope Honey's leg pain begins to get better. It's so hard to see them limp :( I have that problem with Graham, too, although his is permenant.

Lilly, that is a 12% weight loss. Pretty impressive! What a dog!

Now we need an update on the Honey Buns. Dear sweet girl, you are too young to be dealing with all aches and pains.
