Fat Dog Mylo

So this blog has not been touched in awhile.. seems like its gone to the sidelines. 

And since Kiefer has been born seems like Mylo has too.

We used to go to the dog park or swimming all the time. Plus walks did not feel like a chore before we had a baby but now its tough trying to do things with a "not well behaved" dog and baby in tow. 

Today we had an eye opener. Mylo went for his vaccines and checkup. He's now 79lbs. He's gained about 8 lbs since last checkup. Not horrible but the Vet would like to see him back down around 70 or 72ish. 

Mylo does still get walked 2x a day - thats more than a lot of dogs but he has been getting more table scraps...

Kiefer droppings (cracker crumbs or rice puffs), plus I did give him leftover rice last night. And we can't forget that whole chicken breast he ate - bones and all! 

Do you think that might be adding to the weight situation??

So here is our plan:

NO people food at all!! 

That means I have to watch Kiefer's food droppings, and stop forgetting food on the counter -Yes Mylo eats whats left out. (Bad dog) 

Also watch the treats we are giving him. We haven't been giving him too many lately. I realized that the other day. We used to give him treats for everything. (Sitting, staying, and any other trick he can do)

Last but not least; More exercise. I need to go for longer walks, or play with Mylo in the backyard or find a way to take Mylo to the park.

I really don't like FAT LABS... and I don't want Mylo to turn into one.
