Yay Chloe! And more importantly, way to go you for watching her weight!

It's been difficult at times....she's such a food oriented dog and acts like she's hungry all of the time. It's been real gradual process over quite a long time now. The more weight she's lost, the more active she wants to be, which helps a lot!!

Congatulations Chloe!!!! That's awesome Dena, it's amazing what a little weight loss can do for a dog

Denaluvcorgis, I totally get wat you are trying to say. Buta gives me "the eye" when I refuses to give her treats

I hope I can help Buta to lose the extra weight soon too, we are working towards slimming down now

Great motivation Cloey has given us

It is heartwarming to learn of some members who are making a real conscious effort to get the weight of their Corgis under control. Good on you Dena And don't for goodness sake stop at 35 lbs. I'd want to aim for sub 30. Your sentiments that Chloe is more active now and by inference more capable of losing weight and when the ideal is reached, to maintaining that weight, is spot on.
I assure you that my Taylor has many lovely meals and real scrummy treats and he is still only 26 lbs. Tonight I made some pikelets ( something akin to fat pancakes) and he gobbled two of them up.

Oh yes Michael....we're still working on going down. I'm hoping to get her to abou 27 pounds...that seemed to be a nice healthy weight for her. Once in a while I give her a little extra something that she likes.........but.........not very often. I just really want her to have a long, healthy and happy life. She had gotten so unhealthy and inactive when she was so over weight....it made me feel really sad because ultimately, it was my fault that she had gotten that way. We're on the right track now though.

Denaluvscorgis:

That kind of weight loss is a real accomplishment. I'm really happy for you. It would be great if all dog owners were like you and some of the other conscientious canine companions at this site.

Keep up the good work!
