For the umpteenth time, I am witnessing yet another attempt for my dear companion to get in shape.    This one, I can not relate to because I  have never  had to worry about extra pounds.  In fact, I am quite the opposite, I am always told to gain a few pounds.   Anyhow, back to OUR mission because apparently, I am a huge part of her new healthy goal to lose quite a bit of weight.    This is her gift  to herself for her birthday in a few months.   Some other health scares have also prompted her to lose these extra pounds.   I can relate to getting older because I am already 9 years old which  is considered a senior in dog years.

Some may ponder what brought on this new revelation?  She says it was a series of breakdowns.    First, it was walking past some mirrors.  Then, it was some students staring at her as if she had something on her face.   But, the last straw according to Nancy was that none of her clothes fit her at all.   Just for the facts, we are talking about a clothes hog here.

It is a win win  or “harmonious” situation for me because not only will she use her treadmill sitting downstairs, she will take me on those walks and runs.  Otherwise,   do you know what it is like to live with someone who is on a serious diet?   I may need some encouragement going forward here.
