Ready for work

This is Bogey's customary pose every morning when I get ready to leave for work. I normally try to take him to the office with me when I can because he hates to stay alone. I'll say, "Ready for work?" and he gets all happy. Then when we get there he'll either sit and look out the door or lay in my office snoring. But sometimes he can't go and I'll scratch his head and say, "Not today," and he slinks off to the corner to pout. So until I say anything, he has this lean, and this worried little look on his face.

Last week we took him to the vet for his regular distemper shot, and he also got an allergy shot to take care of his itching. He feels much better now, but what was best was, he weighed in at his lowest adult weight in a long time: 40.2 pounds. We've had two different vets tell us he is just a very muscular dog. Muscular, and short. :)

muscular, short, and chubby. :)

I've heard of people feeding their dogs green beans to help them lose weight. And it was endorsed by the vet!

Actually, Bogey has lost three pounds. Which would be the equivalent of me losing 12. The doctor said he's not fat, just really muscular. Though from this pic he does look pretty chubby.

hey... I'm gonna try that. I'm not fat, I'm just really muscular... yeah... now I can date supermodels.

and incidentally, that's a cool dog.

And maybe if you substituted green beans for mac and cheese... I bet that's what Tom Brady does.
