Wednesday Weigh In for June 13th

Hey, Fluff! How are you?  Foster Mom says you lost another .2 pounds! Down to 30.3 pounds! Just in time for your surgery next week.  We know you might be a little worried about it but you will do just great!  We are all thinking of you!  Just think how much more fun eating carrots will be when your teeth don't hurt!  We love you, Fluff!

 Thanks to everyone who has donated to Fluffy's ChipIn!  We are so grateful for your support!

Wednesday Weigh In for June 6th

Way to go, Fluff!  You are down to 30.5 pounds!  That's 12.5 pounds lost!  You are an inspiration to us all, Fluff!

Foster Mom Marilyn says you are gearing up for your surgery later this month.  You are going to get those cherry eyes* fixed and some aching teeth removed.  You will feel so much better.

The Fluff's surgery is going to cost ~$2000.  OBG has set up a ChipIn to help collect donations.  No donation is too small.  Please click here or in the ChipIn box above right if you can help.

* What is Cherry eye you ask? It is a common congenital eye defect in various dog breeds where the gland of the third eyelid known as the nictitating membrane prolapses and becomes visible. After gland prolapse, the eye becomes chronically inflamed and there is often a discharge.  It's important to treat this because the gland is responsible for about 30% of the eye's tear production and the eye can eventually suffer from dryness.

Wednesday Weigh In for May 30th

It was another losing week for Fluff!  He lost .2 pounds.  He has now dropped 12.1 pounds!  Wow!

We also got good news that his most recent blood work came back normal.  As you may remember, when he came to OBG, he had high cholesterol from all the human food he had probably been fed.

Since his blood levels are normal and he has lost so much weight, he can finally have the surgery to repair his cherry eyes and remove some teeth.  Looks like he will have the procedures in mid-June.  We will keep you posted. 

Fluffy loves to help Foster Mom Marilyn garden in her back yard so here are some great new shots of Fluffy in the garden.

Wednesday Weigh In for May 23rd

Yay, Fluffy!  Foster Mom says you had a great week and weighed in at 31.1 pounds!  Wow, that's another .6 pounds.   You are closing in on your 30 pound goal!  Woohoo!  Pretty soon you will be able to get your teeth fixed and the cherry eye procedure.  Then you will be in tip top shape and ready for your forever home! 

We also heard you were quite the star at OBG's COSI with Canines lunch last weekend.  Foster Mom said everyone knew you!  Of course they do!  Everyone knows and loves the Fluff!  Our friend, Richard, caught a few snapshots of you at COSI when your publicist wasn't looking.  We love the one picture with that cute little curl of your lip!  Have a good week, Fluff!

Wednesday Weigh In fo May 16th

Hi Fluffy!  How are you?  Foster Mom, Marilyn, says you hit some sort of plateau?!  Hope you didn't get hurt!  Foster Mom says this is the first week you didn't lose any weight but she said that happens in big weight loss campaigns.  You have lost so much already she says she can feel your ribs!  That is fantastic! 

Foster Mom also told us you had company last week week from her relatives who are Corgi lovers.  That must have been so nice to have cocker spaniel AND corgi lovers together in the same house.  Finally all the people that understand you in one place!

We know how much you love the little people, Fluffy, so we wanted to share some other photos of you with your little fans.  Have a good week, Fluff!

Wednesday Weigh In for May 9th

Fluffy had a good week -- he lost another .3 pounds so he weighed in at 31.7 pounds!  It's so exciting -- his goal of reaching 30 pounds by June 1st is within reach.  Foster Mom Marilyn says he will get lots of carrots as his reward and she may change his name officially from Fluffy Pork Chop to Fluffy! 

The importance of helping Fluffy lose all that weight really hit home last week when we learned of the poor 39 pound cat who passed away at a shelter from respiratory distress. 

We LOVE you, Fluff!

Wednesday Weigh in for May 2nd

Hi there, Fluff!  Foster Mom Marilyn said you had a very good week!  Down another .6 pounds!  WOW, that means you are down 11 pounds!  YAY!!!  That is fantastic, Fluff! 

Foster Mom also said you leg is better and you are back to full running and playing speed including greeting her at the door with a jump!  That is so good to hear. 

Before you know it you will be able to have your cherry eye surgery and dental work and go to a forever home!  And who wouldn't LOVE to have you.  Folks will be lining up.
