Wednesday Weigh In for March 28th

Drum roll, please............34.5 lbs! Way to go, Fluffy!  Another .8 lbs! 

We are SO proud of you! You met your goal of getting down to or below 35 lbs by the end of March!  WOOHOO!

Way to Go, Fluff!
According to Foster Mom Marilyn, Fluffy had a big breakthrough this week -- he is finally eating low fat dry dog food and he seems happy to have it.  No canned food required.  He does get a couple squirts of fish oil too. 

His exercise regimen continues to step it up.  He is doing longer walks, like 15 minutes instead of the 5 minute walks he was doing in the beginning.  He seems to have more stamina now.  Check out  Fluffy Running the Hill!

Wednesday Weigh In for March 21st!

Another drumroll, please!  35.3 lbs!

YAY,  Fluffy!  You are already so close to your goal of 35 lbs by the end of March.  You are ahead of schedule!  We are so proud of you!

According to Foster Mom, Marilyn, Fluffy has more stamina now and can do longer walks although he is not a power walker -- YET! His legs are just too short and he still is carrying a lot of weight around.

He has fold developed folds of skin now in places, like around his neck, so hopefully his skin will tighten up some.   (Don't worry Fluffy, we will find you some wrinkle cream!)

On the food front -- he seems to be less picky and has been broadening his palate.  He tried another orange veggie this week--sweet potatoes--and gave his seal of approval.  He is now getting a variety of vegetable treats.  At some point his Foster Mom may try green beans again to see if he will eat them now.  He does scarf up his food immediately now and luckily leaves his foster siblings alone when they are still eating.  Fluffy is eating about half dry food and half canned or raw diet (that Foster Mom CeCe made for him), so he is getting good nutrition.

Stay tuned for a story on Fluffy's time at a children's day care place!  What a doll!  The kids loved him!

Wednesday Weigh In for March 14th

Sorry to be a little late with Fluffy's latest weigh in!

Good news! He lost another .5 lbs so he is down to 35.6 lbs.  Woohoo!  Foster Mom, Marilyn, has set a goal of 30 lbs by June 1st!  You can do it, Fluffy! 

Foster Mom reports he got a carrot after his weigh in this week and that carrots have really gotten popular in her house.  Fluffy has now has all her dogs wanting carrots too, except Maggie Ann who takes one but doesn't eat it (Laddy now grabs it too).  

Fluffy was assisting his Foster Mom with some gardening this week, although he didn't seem to like the vegetable garden as much.  He kept cleaning his paws -- probably trying to keep his beautiful soft white fur from getting dirty.

Fluffy Out & About This Weekend

Fluffy is one busy guy. This weekend he and his Biggest Loser publicist, Sam, had an outdoor photo shoot in the Herndon, VA area. Fluffy and 12 of his fellow OBG fosters were photographed by VA Photographer, Jeanne Taylor, of Pet Portraits by Jeanne Taylor.

Fluffy looked fabulous. Can't wait to hear his weigh-in this week as he is definitely looking svelter. Just the hint of a waistline is starting to appear. YAY, FLUFFY! We learned from his publicist that he can climb uncarpeted stairs now! Woohoo! Foster Mom, CeCe, had gone upstairs and all the sudden, there was Fluffy. His exercise is increasing and his sweet personality is brighter every day. You can tell he feels better. Warms our hearts, Fluffy!

When asked what is the key to his weight loss so far, he replied, "More Carrots!"

Fluffy's new glamor photos and those of his foster buddies will be available later this week. Keep a watch on Fluffy's blog and the OBG dogs available page for the new photos!
