Weightloss With Wylie

Doesn't this face just scream "I'm innocent!"

On most occasions, not all, but most, this little face is pretty honest.

But lately, Bubba has been on a mission to conquer Baby Otis' weight issue. Although I am a firm believer that a good brush with the Firminator will quickly help Otis shed 10 pounds and that all dogs are just happier if they have a belly full of good ol' food, Bubba seems to disagree. However, if we really want to get to the root of the slow decline in Otis' weight, I think we found a culprit tonight!

Yes friends, this innocent face is guilty!

After hearing Wylie just giggling away tonight at supper, I overheard her say "Otis eat cheese." So being the ever so responsible mother that I am, I looked over to discover my child feeding our dog her supper! I must comment and at least be encouraged that she was at least using silverware to encourage Otis' good table manners!

And like all smart dogs, he stood there while she just fed and fed him. You may be wondering why me as the responsible mother did not stop this fine dining event, and that answer is simple. Wylie only believes in eating "do-dos" (doughnuts), "cheese" or "fench fies" (french fries) for dinner most nights. If this child wasn't eating her "cheese" she wasn't going to eat anything. And there are starving kids in Ethiopia, and we don't waste food, so might as well let Otis chow down! Or so I figured.

Meanwhile, the peanut gallery was full of belly laughs and happy claps for Wylie and Otis' meal time fun!



And what kind of mother would I be if I denied my children the joy of laughter!

Plus, Baby Otis is laying here at my feet as I type and I am sure his belly is thanking Wylie for his delicious supper. Sure beats his diet food!
