Ohhhhh, Keegan... we *feel* fur ya!

Dat *D I E T * thing is da PITz!

Kupla yearz ago, not too long aftur SmokeMutt showd up all
skinny an a lil *skrawnie* - Dad wuzint to fussie bout
"Kountin da Krunchies" - we boff got purdy "rounded" helpinz poured
outta da measunin kup, two mealz a day.

Smoke "bulked up" jest fine - Doc wuz happie hiz ribz dint show
so much - eben sed da boy hadda bit of FAT on hiz bonez!
Den *I* jumped onna elevatur tabul - da one wiffa "pounds dial" on it...
Sed ebberbuddie - "She's gettin FAT!!"

Oh DRAT!

Da bottom line wuz dat Doc Mike feels it izint so important WHAT ya feed -
az long az it's a GOOD FOOD - az it is HOW MUCH ya feed!

Doc thinks ALL the Dawg Food Makers "suggest" feeding at LEAST 10% MORE
than "most" dawgs need to be healthy!

And since we were both "gaining weight" - and had gone past what
either wunna us "needed" to be healthy...
A simple REDUCTION in the AMOUNT we were eating each day
should solve the weight GAIN problem.
Doc suggested a 10% reduction to start with -
WE tink Dad cut it more like in HALF;
but in about 6 months we'd both lost about 4-5 pounds - an
Doc Mike wuz a Happie Kampur!

Smoke's back to where ya can see hiz ribz when he taks a deep breath;
I kan't "show ribz" thru all my fluffie coat - but Dad CAN feel em again!

We still get *TREETz* (darn FEW of em ) - but we do get em!
Doc sez treetz like MiklBones are wholesome an help wiff keepin da
Toofiez shiney an white -
he sez ta stay away frum all da *fancie* "Designer Treetz" - they're
jest like CANDY is wiff Hoominz!

We alluz try ta make Dad *feel bad* when he dolez out da grub -
*Look* inna bowl; *Look* up at Dad (wiffa REEL SAD eyes);
*Look* back inna bowl; den give a reelee *DEEP* <sigh>; an start munchin.
An don't *buRRRp* when yur dun!
