Take Me to the Moon

One of my favorite places is the vet's office--even when they give me a booster shot in the butt. I've discovered that wiggling my nub just a little bit makes everybody swoon, from the ladies at the front desk to the veterinarian technicians and even Dr. Johnson himself. As a result, I get lots and lots of cookies.

However, yesterday's visit was a letdown. They made me get up onto the scale which showed 60 pounds. Heavens! How did that happen? Dr. Johnson proclaimed me "at the upper end of the range" and that Mom should make sure that I didn't gain any more weight. Since then, the cookie supply has been in serious decline.

I don't really understand why 60 pounds is such a big deal so I did some research:

• 60 pounds is equivalent to the weight of 1,000 disposable coffee cups
• Janet Jackson lost 60 pounds in 4 months
• Somewhere in Florida somebody is missing 60 pounds of pot
• And, best of all, 60 pounds on Earth is equivalent to 9.9 pounds on the moon.

I better go call NASA. Maybe they'll take me on their next space voyage to the moon. Do you think they sell snackies up there? If not, maybe I'll check to see if Aire Ruby will take reservations.

Well, I've never thought about the moon, but it certainly is an option! Anyhowl, you are bootiful no matter what your poundage is!!! But you want to be healthy...so maybe some low-cal snackies and carrot stix might be ok to have!

Lots of Licks, Ruby

That pot didn't show up at your house, did it Bella? That would explain the munchies.

I only weigh 40 lbs!! And Mom has been feeding me extra b/c I've gotting really lean. Must be all of my ball chasing. I'll try to sneak you some extra goodies if I can.

What is this big deal about being at the upper range. Cookies have nothing to do with it. The VET has a malfunctioning scale.

C'mon - Your name is Bella, not Barbie! You are just right!! Love, Grandma

60 lbs but you are just a tiny slip of a thing. how can you be at the upper end of the range?

60 pounds is truly nothing! I weigh 65 pounds and no one has ever told me I couldn't have as many cookies as I want...I think the vet needs to find an updated growth chart!

Try donut holes. I lost 5 pounds on them!

60 pounds doesn't seems like a whole lot to me, Bella - I'm almost 80 lbs. and I'm told I'm too skinny! Just to be on the safe side, maybe cut the cals a bit but I think you are just beautiful the way you are!!
