Good news at the vet

Cassie had an appointment this morning for a routine shot and test. It was the perfect opportunity to check her weight and see if the hard work over the past couple months had paid off. We've been running in the mornings, sometimes taking an extra walk in the evenings, or at least playing more in the evenings, and we switched to weight control food.

Cassie hopped on the scale. It read 53.9. Up 1.9 lbs. from last time when she weighed 52. WHAT? She GAINED 1.9 lbs.??? I just couldn't believe it. We had been working so hard! How could she have GAINED weight??

After her tests were taken and we were about to leave I asked if I could talk to the vet about her weight, but with it being a Saturday and so busy the vet couldn't really talk. So the tech suggested I make an appointment for later. I expressed my concerns over her continuous weight gain. She asked if we had tried green beans. I told her we tried green beans before the weight control food and increased exercise and it didn't work either.

.... And now I'll shift gears ... When I went to my post about Cassie eating green beans in January, I saw that at that vet's visit, she weighed 58 lbs., not 52.

I was wrong. Cassie LOST weight!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!! So since January, Cassie has lost 4.1 lbs. That's amazing!! I'm so proud of her!!
