While I was reading your blog, I had a few ideas why your dog was not losing weight and was going to comment on it. But I have nothing to say now. I too have a Chihuahua that is shaped like a football. You might want to read my blogs, “FAT DOG” and “DOGGY DNA”. Those are two reasons why my Sissy is fat. She has lost weight and looks pretty good now, but she is still shaped likea football. I think it has to do with her DNA (I think there may have been another doggy in the woodpile somewhere)!
Believe it or not, when Sparky first came into our family (he was 2 years old) he was fit. For 2 years he was in shape until that episode with the french bread – a whole fresh baked loaf straight from the bakery. I personally think that he stretched his stomach to the point he nevers feels full anymore.
My nephew adopted a mini pin from a rescue service. She can’t get enough to eat and is always begging.
She did gain weight under my care because we have so many animals being fed all the time. But, my nephew has gotten her slimmed down to a reasonable size. As an only dog, Eve does fine. But, she is so aggressive, when there are other animals she manages to steal their food.
As of August 15, 2008, no more blog posts will be added to this blog. In fact many of the older posts on here are in the process of being removed. The entire All the Critters blog has been downloaded and the entire blog is now at All the Creatures. You should come and visit our new blog at All the Creatures. The new blog has more animal pictures and videos of animal news items. See you there. All the Creatures
I just got back from my local hardware/farm supply and horse tack store. The place is huge, bigger than our local Home Depot. I usually like to take a look around the horse section even if I am there for something other than animal related shopping. They normally have 30-40 top name brands of saddles [...]
I just got one of those mass emails with lots of funny dog photos. I did get one great email about cats that were dyed all different colors but unfortunately the email was saved to a computer that crashed. Maybe I should have had an online backup for that sort of thing, oh well they [...]
The one thing I have learned as a horse owner and trainer is that you can never start too early training young horses. Sure, almost everyone knows that you train a foal to wear a halter and lead them around. In fact most experienced breeders will have the foal use to having it’s feet picked [...]
