Blue skies and warming sun as I was off to the vet early this morning with George and Bella. Nothing serious for either of them. Bella, just a follow up appointment for her thyroid.

George was due for a six month check up, and to meet our primary vet. He's really slow getting up, and I know it's a combination of arthritis, and his weight. When he was weighed this past summer, I was a little disappointed that he'd lost hardly any weight. But we liked this scale today, he's lost 10 pounds since he was last weighed -- He's now 95 pounds! About 10 more to go!

We'll take it, and celebrated with a cookie!
A quick stop at the grocery store, where I had to grin at this display of boxed Weight Watcher cakes, and Valentine bakery cupcakes together.
Home by late morning and a quiet rest of the day. I've looked at so much snow this week, that now I'm actually starting to see see things in it. Am I the only one that thinks this melting snow in our yard looks like a Scottie?
Todd would probably disagree.
Way to go, George! What an accomplishment!!!!
ReplyDeleteI see a Scottie in that snow too. Perhaps Todd has taken up snow sculpting! I love your blue skies with the white snow. Gorgeous!
It does look like a Scottie! Glad the doggies had a good vet visit, and a cookie reward.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like celebrating your weight loss with a fattening cookie.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does look like a Scottie, but not as handsome as Todd !
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, George is a big boy ! We have just successfully dieted our older, 10 year old Lab, who was touching 40 kilos, down to around 35 kilos which is the vet's recommendation. She is very slow and has arthritis, so very much the same as George, I would imagine. We're now using the same diet food for our second, 6 year old Lab, who is full of energy and always happy to walk and run after a ball, but started putting on weight after she was spayed.
The trouble with a Lab is that they always manage to convince you that they are starving, even after they've just had their dinner !
I would take that any day, the stuff I dream about!!! Every one looking so good in their photos, well done to the snow sculpture too.
ReplyDeleteWe see the scottie! Glad the doctor's report was good.
ReplyDeleteBlue sky and snow always looks wonderful. You must let us know your secret on how to stop the dogs dragging the snow inside !
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that the Dr. Appt. went well! The good news is that the snow is melting!! Yes, I see a scottie in that snow as well. I cannot get over how much your Black Lab looks like my Zippo...it is amazing! We are very happy to be enjoying temps in the 40's with NO SNOW!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Congrats to George. He is doing great, losing weight. I am glad the Doc appt went well. I see a Scottie in the snow too, maybe it is a mirage type thingy. Your Todd is adorable. I love all your dogs, sending hugs! Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteWay to go George . . .
ReplyDeleteA Todd sculpture for sure . . .
You are melting very fast . . .
Slower here in Michigan!
Congrats to George! And I can't believe the amount of snow you got. That will be a lot snow melt for you to deal with.
ReplyDeleteThey look like such contented dogs. You certainly named Bella correctly.
ReplyDeleteit DOES look like a scottie! sitting with his back to us and his ears perked up. you're not losing it old bean! LOLOL

The store is showing choices - I can see that. Still so much snow there, but I'm sure you are looking at more to come, right?
ReplyDeleteSomething for everyone at your store. You are such a wonderful caregiver for your tribe. They are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Nope, I see Scottie...perhaps I could get the Pres to follow that diet he (George) is on!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skies, and a good vet report. Ciara wishes the scale would give her better numbers:( Our BIG snowstorm this week is looking more and more like a rain event - bummer!
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
Good for you, Georgie. Dieting is hard work and you deserve a lot of credit.
ReplyDeleteI see the Scottie in the snow.
YAY for the Weight Loss!! I am in Weight Watchers and that photo IS funny! DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteGlad all are doing well . I know feats the purpose of dieting when stores do that lol ! Oh yes did Todd make that snow puppy of himself to fool you ? lol ! Lovely photos . Oh then I guess I wont tell you we have tiny bits of snow left and it has been warm and raining this weekend here lol Oh I already just told you hehe ! Hope the snow melts soon there then like us you will have to deal with mucky dogs YUK ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good week !
ReplyDeletego, george, go!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news for George! Give him a hug for me!
ReplyDeletePretty blue skies Kim. Way to go George, yay!!!!! Great dieting, I'm trying too.Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteSo good that George is getting down to a nearer normal weight. Kudos to you and to George. Yes, as the snow melts we are also seeing figures. I think it's because the snow has been around so long it's very icy and melts in irregular patterns. Almost as much fun as clouds, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGeorge,,, I am clapping for you on your big accomplishment!!! Good job!
ReplyDeleteYour snow is soooo beautiful. and does look like Todd!
love

Way to go, George! My 11 yr old Boo has lost about 10 lbs, too - a combination of replacing about 1/4 of her food with green beans, and just cutting the amount altogether :) She's at her ideal weight again and moving a lot better!
ReplyDeleteThose of us to the north and east of you were enjoying green grass and some confused plants that think it's time to start budding. No complaints around here about the lack of snow though. I do see the Scottie in that snow formation.
ReplyDeleteI think it totally looks like a Scottie! I can sure see one.
ReplyDeleteI love all these photos, Kim! All wonderful. The one of George and his doggie tongue especially makes me smile. :) It must have been one delicious cookie!
Congrats George!
ReplyDeleteHas Mom been feeding you those Weight Watcher treats?
LOL!
It does! It does look like a scottie!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on George losing weight. I have Roscoe on a diet, because he has thyroid issues as well and has gained a lot. He is 107lbs. I am hoping when I take him back at the end of this month that he has lost 10lbs. We will see. I am hoping.
ReplyDeleteI think it does look like a Scottie after seeing Todd's picture.
Here in the Sunshine state it is 77 degrees. Hot hot hot. I wish it would snow just for one day and stay in the 60's atleast for a month.
Wishful thinking.
Have a great weekend. Ana
The postman came with a package today. Thank you ! Am horrified by how much the US Postal Service has the audacity to charge - so a double thank you.
