gains weight together! I'm not the only fatty in the house. Maggie had her annual physical yesterday. She gained a whopping four pounds! I know that doesn't sound like much, but it is. Since she reached her adult weight at about a year old, she's consistently weighed 66 lbs, give or take only a few ounces. When she was last weighed in April, she was, as usual, 66 lbs. But yesterday she weighed in at 71 lbs. She still looks great, and 71 lbs is still perfectly healthy for a female lab. But the vet was a bit concerned about the speed with which she gained the weight. We still play chuck-it with her twice a day, so lack of exercise can't be blamed. I've simply been more indulgent with her. When I eat my Jello No-Bake Cheesecake or ice cream (some might say at an alarming frequency), Maggie gets to lick the remnants. I guess things are going to have to change around here.

It's only a matter of time until the ASPCA starts knocking on our door. And I think I see a PETA picket line forming at the end of our walkway.
