Soooo… A couple of months ago, my mommy found out that I had gained a lot of weight… which was probably one of the reasons that I developed hip dysplasia.

\nNala Update…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before I continue with this post, I wanted to share that my furry sister, Nala, hasn’t been feeling well the past few days. She paces for hours on end, and has been having trouble walking and sitting. She’s going to be 15 in November, so she’s an old girl. She usually sleeps in the room with daddy when he goes in, but last night she did not want to sit for anything and did not want to go into the room.<\/p>\n

Mommy and Taylor were a little worried — they didn’t want her to be in any pain, but they thought that her arthritis must have been bothering her. <\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nI didn’t want to tell them that I was worried too.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nMommy told Nala to sleep in my bed,
\nbut she didn’t stay there for long.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nMommy gave her some arthritis medicine, and Nala
\neventually slept on the carpet next to the couch.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nWe were thankful that she was eventually able to sleep.<\/em>
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

Please keep Nala in your thoughts, friends. <3\n\nNow for Monday Mischief: Exercising!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The doctor said that I needed to lose about 10 lbs. Ten pounds?! That’s a lot! So, she switched me to a much better brand of doggie food, and that’s pretty much all I’ve been eating for the past month. <\/p>\n

When my family went away overnight a week ago, they left Nala and me at our doggie camp. They weighed me there. *Sigh* Would you believe that after all that mommy’s done to help me lose weight, I ended up GAINING almost 5 lbs<\/em>?! How is this even possible?<\/p>\n

Mommy knew she had to do something drastic, ’cause she hated that I was carrying around all this extra weight. So she started me on an exercise program. <\/p>\n

Right now, she’s trying running with me. I guess my breed isn’t meant to be hanging around<\/a> most of the time. We go jogging a few times during the day. Most of the time it’s around the backyard and the pool, but we get in a good 4-6 laps each time (that’s all that mommy can do in one shot!). She said that if there was a way she could get me to exercise on my own, she would do it. Like I’d wanna exercise on my own<\/em>. Heh.<\/p>\n

As of this post, I’ve been exercising for more than 2 weeks, but minus about a week due to RAIN<\/a>!). If exercising doesn’t help me lose weight, I’m going to have to try another doggie food. <\/p>\n

Have I lost any weight? I’ll let you know in a future post after I go for a weigh-in. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

A few days ago, my mommy and daddy took me for a long walk around the neighborhood. <\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nWe have a canal where we live,
\nand there are fish in there!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nThere are also a few little walkways to the river.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nAnd some sand. It’s like a little beach.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nThe last time mommy went with daddy and me,
\nI didn’t like the water too much. But…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nWhat? Is that ME swimming?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nYEAH, that’s ME swimming!! Wooo!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nThis is another little beach.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nI swam in there too!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nThe water felt really nice.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nI shook a lot after I got out.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nOn the walk home, I spotted something in a tree.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nSQUIRRRREL!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nThen we started our walk home.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nThat was a lot of exercise for me.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nMy bed is looking really good right now.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Monday
\nI plopped down as soon as I got home.
\nI call this a perfect day. <3<\/em>
