Wednesday Weigh In for July 25th

In spite of the heat, Fluffy continues to exercise in his foster Mom's yard - he loves those lilies -and LOSE more weight.  Yay, Fluff! Wish I had that much energy to exercise!  He lost another .4 pounds bringing him down to 28.3 pounds.  That is 13.7 pounds since he joined OBG in January!

Fluff's Foster Mom heard from an editor at All Animals, the membership magazine of The Humane Society of the United States.  They are running some pet weight loss stories in their next issue and want to tell Fluffy's story!  WooHoo!

Wednesday Weigh in for July 18th

Thanks to David ID Photography!

Fluffy had another losing week last week -- he lost .3 pounds!  Way to go, Fluff! 

His friend, Missy, whom we recently introduced to you went to her fur-ever home last week (YAY!) so he is back to walking by himself with Foster Mom Marilyn. 

Fluffy will be meeting his fans and interviewing potential fur-ever families this coming Saturday, July 28th at the Rockville, MD PetSmart (11-1pm)!  Come on out and say hello!

The Fluff Appears on Petline 9 News!

Another busy week for the Fluff!  First, his Wednesday weigh-in:  Fluff remains at 29 pounds!  As he knows it's just as hard to maintain a new weight so way to go, Fluff.  Plus the weather has been tough on our furry friends and he hasn't been getting in as many walks.

Second, Fluff had another TV appearance!  He appeared on WUSA's Petline 9 News yesterday and did great!  Click here to see the video! He is so relaxed in front of the camera! And Foster Mom Marilyn was fantastic!  We hope Fluff might receive some adoption inquiries as a result.  He is ready to find his fur-ever home!  

Last, Fluff was busy in the garden again tending to the beautiful yellow day lilies so Foster Mom Marilyn gave him a bath.  Look at how slim and cute he looks!

Wednesday Weigh In for July 4th

Chilling in the Nice Cool Grass!

Happy belated 4th of July!  Hope this finds you all cool and comfy with your furry friends.  Fluff, his Foster Mom and foster siblings were lucky enough to get their power back quickly.  But his Foster Mom says he must have sweated off some more weight in the recent heat because he weighed in at 29 pounds!!!  Yay, Fluff! That's incredible!

The heat has been rough on us all but especially our fur-kids.  Fluff has been doing his morning walks but evenings have been too tough.  It will be cooler, next week, Fluff!

Fluff has a new foster sibling, Missy, a beautiful 9-year-old black and white cocker who just arrived to town from Pennsylvania.  She apparently loves to walk and has become Fluff's new walking companion.  Fluff is showing her the ropes!  Learn more about Missy here.

Welcome to the DC area, Missy!

Wednesday Weigh In for June 27th

Thanks to David ID Photography for these photos!

Our Fluff dropped another .2 pounds since last week.  He is down to 29.6 pounds!  Can you believe it?!  His face is beginning to look different from the weigh loss.  Check out these pictures of him from last week's Rockville, MD adoption show.  His face is so thin!  And look at those beautiful eyes - almost reflective of the pretty blue in his Adopt Me bandana!

Foster Mom Marilyn tells us the Fluff is scheduled for a bath this weekend.  He likes to stroll around her garden by the tiger lilies and now Fluff is showing yellow markings on that beautiful white fur!  How cute!

The Fluff's ChipIn campaign comes to a close this weekend.  We wanted to say thank you to everyone for donating to his surgery costs! Fluff and OBG really appreciate your generosity!

Fluffy Weekend Update

Fluff had a great week considering how his week started with getting his eyes done and 7 aching teeth removed.   Foster Mom Marilyn says he acts like nothing happened!

He has had to take a break from eating carrots and other hard foods for a week or two while healing from the dental.  So Fluff has a new favorite food which is equally nutritious treat -- blueberries.  His foster mom picks them out back from her bushes and Fluff has learned to line up outside the gate to receive them.  The first time she tried him with them a week or two ago he expressed distaste but after watching his foster siblings, he decided to try them after all.  Nice job, Fluff!

We also heard that he is getting more spirited on his walks and has started to chase squirrels!  Watch out, squirrels, the Fluff is on patrol!

Fluff Update - The Day After Surgery

Wow, Fluff, You Look Great!

We were so happy to hear that Fluff woke up feeling better, wanting to eat and walk.  We can't imagine how much it must have hurt to eat with 7 bad teeth.  Fluff never showed it though.  He always has a happy wag for everyone!

We also got a few more details about his surgery -- it was long because of the extractions and they had to be very careful with the anesthesia because of his heart murmur.  Yes, our Fluff also has a Grade II (on a scale of VI) heart murmur so dental disease is even worse for him.  The good news is that it does not require medication and does not slow him down!

His Foster Mom says his eyes look wonderful!  We agree!  And Fluff is leaving them alone so he hasn't had to wear the dreaded cone at all so far! Great job, Fluff!

Special thanks to all of Fluff's fans for their well wishes and donations towards his surgery.  We are really appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
