:computer: Thanks everyone! Tippi's vet isn't entirely sold on the Wellness diet even though she lost the 3 pounds in 3 weeks. I'm not positive, but I think her hesitation might have something to do with the huge Science Diet display in the waiting room of her office /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif .
Anyway we are thrilled with Tippi's progress and are keeping our fingers crossed that it continues. She gets one half cup Wellness Super5mix Weight management and one half cup of green beans twice a day. She also wants me to walk her six times a day, which is a chore right now, because Tippi would rather just sit outside, not walk outside, but we are making progress with the walks too, although this morning while we were out a mockingbird landed on Tippi's back and started to peck at her /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif I yelled and swatted at the bird, but it kept coming back /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif Ron heard the commotion and ran outside and the bird flew away. Our next door neighbor, who is somewhat of a nature guy thought that possibly the bird fancied Tippi's hair for her nest. Needless to say it was not one of my better mornings and given the struggle we have even getting Tippi on her feet to go out, I really don't need any additional obstacles when it comes to getting Tip out for all this walking.
Well, speaking of which, it's time for another stroll. Will keep you all posted.
