Bigger Loser

Charley is our Biggest Loser! He went to the vet today and lost more weight! He final total is (drumroll please).... 70 lbs. in ONE YEAR! He is finally down to 98lbs! We are so proud of him! How did he do it? No weight loss surgery or diet pills for this dog! No, Charley did it the old fashioned way- cutting calories and exercising! He gave up the refried beans, fried chicken, and chocolate chip cookies. He started with a special diet dog food that has all the nutrients he needed without the excess fat, then he walked almost every day. At first, walking was hard for Charley! He would get tired walking across the yard, but it didn't take long for him to build up to a longer walk. Now, he has so much more energy and runs and gallops at the dog park!

We know that it wasn't easy for Charley, and we are so proud! He's come a LOOONNNNGGGG way from a year ago. I didn't know if he would ever do it. He is such a happier dog now! He is the BEST dog!
