Wellington has a waist! Wells has a history of IVDD (spine disc disease.) We like to keep those dogs at an ideal body condition. Dogs should have a bit of an hourglass figure from above with a gentle belly slope. He was a rectangle when he got here.
** Adjust their foods. Try a concave cup.

Y’all are incredibly kind. I went over to Alpine Animal Hospital to pick up some prescriptions and pay off our bill. Color me shocked I had a zero balance. I said no way. They said way. Thank you from the bottom of my fur covered heart. #KindnessMatters

Kate Mara had her annual check up. She is in fact a whole cat with an ideal body condition score. 6lbs 4 ounces! I’m finally comfortable sharing a side view of her. Thyroid tests to the lab. We are not expecting any changes. She needs a dental appointment, not urgent. February is dental deal month.
