I'd had several good days in a row (re: my ankle) so decided to take the dogs on a long walk this morning. Actually, the main reason was due to the facts that I had sweets for dinner last night and Simon has become Porky the Pig.

I don't know if I mentioned this before, but he's gained four pounds, which would be equivalent to me gaining 30 pounds, so it's time for some changes.  I know that his new food due to his skin allergy is higher in fat and calories than his old food. But I also realize that since my ankle started causing me problems, we've been walking less, which is another contributor to his porkiness. There's a fine line here since he, too, has arthritis, but I'm going to work on this.

P.S. Guess how many times I've almost tripped over him when he's lying on the carpet at night. He's camouflaged!
