Going On A Diet! Week 1

Monday 3/13/2017

It’s Monday! It’s Monday! It’s Monday!  Today is the day we GO!  I can’t wait!  Last week on Thursday, I went to the vet.  He told Mom that I am something called “40 pounds overweight”.  I’m over!  Over is great!  Over is on top!  I must be top dog!   He said that because I’m such a good dog and am 40 pounds overweight, I get to GO on a diet!  I don’t know what a diet is but I definitely want to GO!  It’s so much fun when we GO on walks and GO on car rides!  I can’t wait to GO on a diet!  Mom said she was going to wait until today because I had 3 vaccines and she wanted to make sure I didn’t have a reaction to them.  Mom worries a lot.  But today I get to GO on a diet!  The vet said something about a can of food too!  A whole can!  I get two cans a day now and I’m going to get another one!  I’m so excited!

Do you know what happened yesterday?  I didn’t GO anywhere!  Sure, I went for my daily walks.  We went a little bit farther than usual, which was grrreat!  But Mom and the vet said I was supposed to GO on a diet.  I really wanted to GO!  And do you know what else?  I think mom shorted me some food!  I know I heard the vet say something about a whole can.  I usually get two cans a day,  But when I got my last two meals of the day, they were different than usual.  There was dry kibble in dinner and it seemed like lunch was smaller than it should have been.  I have to keep an eye on this.  Maybe Mom wasn’t feeling up to it and we will get to GO on a diet tomorrow.

Something is definitely wrong.  I think Mom is shorting me food!  I wonder if we are running out?  I am watching her when she fills my bowl and she’s changing things up but I KNOW it’s short!  I KNOW it is!  I think she is trying to trick me.  I am going to have to count again tomorrow.  And I still didn’t get to GO on a diet!  I wonder what’s wrong with Mom?

Ok.  Something is definitely wrong.  I still didn’t get to GO on a diet!  When Mom says we are going to GO somewhere, we ALWAYS GO!  Wonder why she won’t take me?  She’s still talking about it but we didn’t GO yet!  It’s been soooooo looooooong!  A whole week since the vet said I should get to GO!  I’m getting worried.  And the food situation?  It’s terrible!  I counted scoops yesterday.  I get two in the morning and a half of a can.  Mom did that right.  Then I always get two scoops and the other half of the can for lunch and another can for dinner.  She only put ONE scoop in lunch and she put one scoop and only half a can in dinner.  She’s trying to confuse me but I think it’s short something.  Either that or she’s drunk and messing up my food measurements.  Maybe that’s it.  Maybe she was drunk and had trouble counting.  It must have been a mistake.  Mom loves me more than anything.  She would never short me food on purpose.

Mom has to be drunk.  She messed up my food AGAIN!  And we still didn’t GO on a diet.  I really want to GO!  The food situation is getting dire though.  Mom is messing it up!  She did it again.  I counted!  There was only ONE scoop of dry kibble in lunch.  There have ALWAYS been two.  Since forever.  I know she gave me one scoop of dry kibble with dinner but that’s just extra because she loves me.  She does breakfast just fine.  Two scoops of kibble and half a can.  Two.  One, two.  I watch her.  She must be getting drunk during the day and forgets how to count to two by lunchtime.  That has to be it.  If this continues, I may starve.  It’s terrible.  There is missing food throughout my day.  I am going to figure this out…
