This is so sad. I realized that my poor pup Junebug has gained a bit of weight. She is the latest victim of the Quarantine 15. She hasn’t gained fifteen pounds, but a pound maybe. She is part Chihuahua and part Dachshund, so a pound is quite a bit for such a small dog. She looks like a fuzzy cylinder with feet. We are a family that supports each other, so now I say we are all on a diet. Just to make us all even more miserable, I will add in exercise. I am not going to go all crazy and get matching sweatsuits, but I will have all of us go for walks each night and no more desserts. It is not an uncommon sight to see someone in the refrigerator freebasing whipped cream from the can and then giving a few squirts the pups. That ends now! It is Monday, and Mondays are for fresh starts.
