Diet Update

So, it has been 10 days since I started this Diet mess. Mama thinks that I might have actually lost 1/2 a pound. I personally think I've lost something like 15 pounds because my breakfast and dinner have been reduced down to dust specs. Okay I'm exaggerating.....I'm eating under the recommendations for a 18lb doggies rather than my actual 22lb amount. Needless to say its not enough! I'm not on Diet Food, just reduced intake. I do not get treats like I used to, but every once and a while, my puppy dog eyes would buy me these low calorie Cheese Pup treats. My Mama has even gone as far as only giving me a treat in a Tricky Ball...in which I have to work for. The treat is stuck in the ball, so I have to roll and throw the ball around until the treat falls out...then I get a treat! There is soooo much work involved! This Diet thing really sucks. I cannot wait to get to my target weight of 20lbs and all this silly mess will go away! The best part of it all is that I am sure to get a walkie everyday!

Update: 9/28/08- I have lost 1.4 lbs since I was last weighed 13 days ago. I now weigh 20.8 lbs. My Mama is super proud of me! She said we will keep this up for a little bit longer and then I can eat like normal again!

D-I-E-t...YUCK!

Ike is long gone, and we did not get a single drop of its rain! Thank goodness!

This past Sunday, Mama had this brilliant idea to take me to Petsmart, being that I have been stuck inside for a few days. I was excited until Daddy had this superb idea to have me weighed at the Vet's scale...dum...dum, duuuummm... The weigh in for me came in at 22.2 lbs. The horrible word of DIET came out of the Vet Tech's mouth! Notice...the first three letters to "diet" spells D-I-E. Is that a pre-empted message of a painful torture of sort? I think so!

I am in the category between Too Heavy and Ideal. I'm not quite overweight, but am not ideal either. My excuse is that it has been super hot outside and I cannot deal with all that heat...I have black fur! Plus, my broadness is due to the Pug side of me!

Mama said that I have to reduce my intake of food and increase my exercise...YUCK! That would mean that Mama and Daddy would have to take me out on walkies more...hee, hee, heee! This is me waiting to go on my walkie!

Here I am sniffing up all my pee mails.Making sure I recognized that one!Then I checked out the local hangout of the fire hydrant!Then all of a sudden, Mama burst into a sprint. I had to go along with her. Look at me run!

I sure don't run very often. Both Mama and I were exhausted when we got back to the house. All I wanted was some cool water.This is how I feel about D-I-E-t and exercise: I was super tired and exhausted after my 20 minute walkie that entailed some running. Mama said that she would reduce her dessert and sugar intake to diet with me. Now if only we can convince Daddy to give up his Fried Chicken!

Sad about dieting,

Yikes its IKE!!!

So I hear the tv say that it is going to be something called a "hurricane," and I thought...it might be something that sounds like a fast-Christmas candy...but Mama said it is going to be more like excessive wind and rain. YUCK!We here in Austin shouldn't be in the center of everything, but supposively I'm not going to be able to go on my walkies or go potty outside peacefully for a couple of days. Another YUCK! Lets just hope that we don't get floated away...in the meantime, I'm going to stay under the futon for shelter until all this chaos is over!

Catching Up!

I have not seen white spots in days... that is because my Mama is back in school and she seems to be super busy! The Mama paparazzi has not had time to click and flash me in the face with that silly camera, so there are few to no new pictures of me. Daddy is still working crazy hours and I'm bored out of my mind! Soon, everything will kick back in gear, so in the meantime...I'll hang tight!I am involved in a contest hosted by Amber Mae and Faya. I'm in the KONG contest, so go http://diggitydogcontests.blogspot.com/ to check it out and vote for me and one other pup! Follow directions...so it is fair to all nominees!

***Please also say a nice prayer and keep Eduardo the Puggle's Mama in your mind...she has been ill and need lots of positive thoughts sent her way!***


Happy Thursday!
