Wanted: Head Taster

Today I went in for my annual vet check-up. It wasn't good news. I have a beautiful coat but have packed on a few extra pounds this past year. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to steal Chase's treats when Mom wasn't looking. When Dr. Parks didn't agree with my 'sturdy' philosophy he suggested I lose 10 pounds. Yikes!

With that Mom and I are both on Weight Watchers and I am having to take medical leave from work. Who will be the Head Taster for all of Mom's treats? Chase can't be trusted to be quality control; my job. No, for now I will be relegated to the healthy treats and it is probably a good thing I realized cucumbers are awesome.

Now usually after I go to the vet we swing by Dairy Queen for a pup cone. No such luck this trip; Mom got a 1/2 price Diet Soda at Sonic. Tonight I got a smidgen of peanut butter with my heart worm meds; then Mom used the new ear rinse. Talk about a bummer of a day. Dad is now even on the diet plan; this means no more suckers in this house.

The rest of the day is now shot. I have planted myself in my kennel to pout. Mommy and I will trudge thru this diet thing, we both have 10 pounds plus to lose. Yeah :(
