Light-weight: trial

Today, Eska weighs in at 55 lbs for a total weight-loss, since mid-August, of 7 LBS!

She is 5 lbs away from being The Biggest Loser here at 215. Until she hits 50, though, Imma still call her a fatty.

What I learned today was that weight loss in animals - specifically in female domesticated animals - is as difficult as it is for humans - specifically female humans: it gets harder as you go along. Lucky for us, we have stepped up our game in kind: we are up to at least 5-mile runs 5 times a week and approximately 30 minutes of free-range play with other dogs once per week.

My girl, she's pretty good ... for a fatty.
