VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!

This morning SP had a vet appointment to check her weight and test her blood for her heartworm medication. We want to put her on heartworm since she enjoys snacking on scat. Blech.

She weighed in at 66 pounds!!!!!!!!!! Our vet's goal for her was 70, so she is DONE! We are to increase her diet food by half a cup and gradually introduce her new food. We are going to put her on a raw food diet to help, we hope, satisfy her cravings. We hope a food that actually TASTES good will help her not be attracted to gross things on the trail!

She is continuing to run 2 miles a day, 3-4 days a week, and still romps in the mornings with Lewis, Clara, Diesel, Stella, Baci, Penny and Kona (the regulars at our dog park).

I plan to research raw dog foods and choose one that can be bought locally. On Monday we'll start her up! We can supplement with as many fruits and vegetables as we like, so she can have her beloved apples and carrots!

We are all so proud of her. Great work, SP!
