Good morning!!!!

Anyone doing anything exciting with their dogs lately!?

I’ve just been walking Brew tons and working on training his reactivity as well as working on weight loss (for BOTH of us LOL)!!!!! So yeah.

Just training, and more training. Plus playing.

Good morning!!!!

It’s 37° with a feels like of 30°

I have to walk in it.

Sounds nice.

Starting pics for Brewster’s diet. Not as bad as I thought and not a 7 or 8 but definitely still a 6 or 6.5. So still needs to lose weight.

He doesn't look heavy to me. Since he's a bully breed, mixed with lab he will carry more muscle. Can you see ribs when he moves? That's how I judge if they are heavy or not.

Not really. He jiggles LOL I’m not saying he’s super obese or 500 lbs overweight or anywhere near morbidly obese beached whale round beach ball that can’t hardly move status or anything like that. He’s not. At all. But he IS a few lbs overweight. Just a few. And even one pound extra on a dog is a lot. So I’m going to try to get him to lose just a little tiny bit and get more in shape. It won’t hurt him to drop a few lbs. Not like he’s emaciated as is or anything. And part of the reason I know he’s a little bit overweight is cause for a while after his neuter last year I was feeding him like 6-8 cups a day because he just wanted to eat and eat and eat and I was stupid and let him. And then even after I cut back, I was still feeding him 4 cups for a while which was still way too much. I recently like maybe a month? Couple weeks? Ago cut back to 3 cups. Even that is still way too much. So now just today I’ve decided I’m cutting him back to 2 cups a day. And ZERO people food/scraps. And minimal treats. It should be ZERO treats too but I cannot deny the nurse giving him his morning treats. It makes them both extremely happy. SO! I will allow that and just cut out all other excess and increase exercise. The people food is the biggest problem here I believe and the other main reason I know he’s overweight. You can’t eat that much food and NOT gain LOL I can’t eat very much anymore and get full easily so instead of just saving it for later or throwing it out, I tend to toss it to him (as long as it’s dog safe of course) and that usually includes a lot of half sandwiches. probably like 800 calories in those things or something. Idk. soooooo yeahhhhh…

Sorry for the massive novel lol and I don’t mean to argue at all if it sounds that way. I am just trying to explain my reasoning for everything.

Also I have seen some RIPPED bully breeds and even Labs so I know it is possible lol but I obviously do not expect that out of him especially being neutered because I believe those dogs are intact but still.

My bulldogs are muscular, and are all spayed. Not sure if it's different with males.

Oakley loses weight SO easily, he's metabolism is like ultra speed. I know he's a puppy but dang, he eats like 3 cups a day, plus treats for training, any less and he's losing weight.
