Guess who needs to go on a diet? (Gosh, besides me.)
HENRY!
The vet said yesterday that, “there is a layer of fat here, and his waist isn’t as well defined as it should be.”
At first I thought she was talking about me, but then I remembered that she used the masculine pronoun and was examining Henry at the time.
So Buddy’s going on a doggy diet. He’s getting less food and more exercise.
Maybe I should take the vet’s advise myself?

Green Beans!!! Unless you know of any food allergies he may have, substitute half of his food with low sodium green beans. Just mix it all together. Guapo LOVES it and he lost all of the baby weight (because yes, everyone in my family gained baby weight!) he put on in a matter of a couple of months.
I can’t tell you how gangbusters he goes when he sees us pulling out a can to mix with his food.
Guillermo’s been on a doggy diet for most of the past year. He’s lost 30 lbs. and needs a little over 10 more pounds to be within acceptable weight limits for his breed (he was 122 when we first took him to the vet last… May, I think, he was 92 when we took him to the vet Wednesday). We had to cut him way down on food and give him special (expensive) diet food for the first couple of months. Now he’s on regular food again.
