January 8


So far so good huh. I've been having fun adding a photo each day. In fact, at times its hard to pick just one, but that is what this blog this year is all about:) So todays is our oldest baby, Mitzi. She was born October 10, 2000. A year ago we had weighed her & she came in at 20lbs. Anytime anyone new sees her, they can't believe how big she is & often have to take a picture for themselves. A friend of ours had noted, "I think Mitiz has gotten bigger" my response was that I had been thinking the same thing. So, one night I decided I would weigh her & sure enough, 22.4 lbs. She HAS gained! We have figured it must be the dog food, yes, whenever we aren't looking she goes for it, often we catch her. We have a $60 food dispenser for her but are now realizing that we are going to have to control when the dog food is down too. Like at night:)
Mitzi, you will always be Mom & Dad's baby & we love you no matter how big you are:)

I love this, honey. Glad you found
out why she's been gaining. Maddie
was down to 14.5 lbs. at her last
vets's visit. She is on senior, hairball control cat food. But she
howls now everytime a small hole
appears in the bottom of her dish that isn't covered with food. Love
you all, all the time.

That's quite tricky of Mitzi to be eating Sophie's food at night ...

Mitzi is H-U-G-E ... 22.4 pounds is as big as most year-old babies! Yikes. :)
