Derby

Last time we weighed Derby, he was 80 lbs! He is not a fat dog when you look at him, but stocky and muscular. But still, he need to lose some weight in order to be healthier and have less stress on his legs. So, we have him on a diet now. The goal is to bring him down to 70 pounds. Of course, this will be a challenge as he loves to eat. He loves food, all kinds. The new plan is to give him only one cup of dry and some wet dog food in the morning and the same at night, and no extras, no treats, no table food. I hope this works.

Derby is one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. He worries about everyone. Seriously! This morning I fell down in our kitchen and Derby ran to me with his loving eyes, started licking my  face and ran around me, as if he was trying to help me out. Such a sweet boy!
