Fat Camp

Well, the vet finally stepped in.....

"your dog is too fat.....he's actually considered obese," the vet said gently to my father.

"okay, so I'll stop giving him doughnuts," responded my dad.

"its going to be even harder than that to shed the weight.....here, take a measuring cup to make sure you are measuring his food properly."

In order to jumpstart Jake's weight loss Sydney and I hosted him at our house for Fat Camp over our spring break. We have a very fit, active dog and thought Jake could benefit from all the activity.

At first Jake wasn't sure about exercising.

Sydney found the largest stick she could throw for the dogs to play with.

A large part of the activity this week was the dogs play fighting whenever we had downtime.

They really are the best of friends. (I love this photo of them sharing a stick while swimming!)

Sully wasn't jake's only friend....

Doesn't he look like a bear?
We had fun with you Jake, hopefully you burned some calories in the process.
