UPDATE ON SADIES DIET - FIRST FOLLOWUP VISIT

Does this look like a happy pup or what? I know you have all been anxiously awaiting results of the first followup visit for Sadie's diet,....right? Well, I know she wanted to tell you all herself, but she's pretty tired tonight and asked that I give you all her news. Ashley and I went over to Dr. Moss at the Kaysville clinic. Izee had to have stitches removed from her spaying surgery that didn't totally dissolve. Harlee was in for her first round of shots. The doctor had us put Sadie on the scale, and much to our amazement it appeared that she had lost 6 1/2 lbs.! WOW! But that concerned Dr. Moss. He didn't want her to lose that much that quickly. So we weighed her again. Our little darlin' had actually only lost 3 1/2 lbs., which is still really good according to the doctor. She started out at 51 1/2 lbs. on September 1st. She went back in yesterday for her followup visit and after weighing her a second time, she weighed in at 47 1/2 lbs. ! ! ! ! So folks, you can see how excited we must be. We are trying to decide where she has lost this few pounds. I was thinking it may be at the base of her tail on her behind,....it doesn't seem like the roll of fat is there anymore. Or, I told Ashley it may be in her neck because her chain collar doesn't seem to be as tight. Oh well,...maybe it's just too soon to say for sure, ya' think? Anyway, the doctor seemed quite thrilled with the results, and told her to keep up the good work. His first goal for her is to weigh 40 lbs. Once we get her there, he may want her to lose another 5 lbs. for a total weight of 35 lbs. We'll see! Stay tuned,.....next update towards the end of October. Good girl Sadie, we are soo proud of you and we love you!
