Fat pugs look fabulous!

My little baby Porky just came home from a long visit to the Grandparents and have gained a whopping 10lbs...omg!!!

I almost past out because I was shocked by how big he got...I didn't know it was possible for the little pug dog to get so big. Now Porky is 28 lbs.!!! His brother Brownie is only 17 lbs...a big huge difference. Well, Brownie went on a diet a while back and lost 6 lbs.! Asside from streamlining his meals into one morning breakfast, adding more fruits and vegetables to dinner, and only small amounts of treats throughout the day, we give lots of water and many walks around the warehouse and the house. After they eat their meals, they tend to lounge and nap. With only one meal a day, they usually are more active and when they do nap, it's not always on a full stomach. We don't feel guilty about giving treats since it's usually fruits or veggies, or other healthy treaties to reward them for being just them!

Brownie is now the perfect weight and more active than ever. Porky has been on a diet now for two days and is showing promise. We weighed him today at 28 lbs. We are aiming to get the weight under 20 lbs. To start the diet and motivate both of us, I sent him to the groomers to get a 10" blade shave and he now looks 5 lbs. lighter! Shaving our two pugs has been the best thing we ever done since we got the dogs. No more dog hair everywhere...especially in the car, on the furniture, and on the bed. It certainly makes sharing the same bed with the two puggies more sanitary and acceptable. We can't seem to kick them off and eventually gave up. The other option was to crate them during the night next to our bed, but we like giving them freedom. They now enjoy freedom and we enjoy hairless house and bed!
