24"

My mom just did something shocking! She measured my belly.

Or rather the distance around my waist just before my hind legs (the loin).

I am at a 24" waist. WOW.

I need to go into the Guinness Book for the fasted expanding tummy in the world. I am going to see if mom can take some photos to send in, but first maybe a treat is in order?

From 51% to 97%

It's officially official. I have developed a girth.

We're in fact 97% sure of it. Mom and Ms. Deb says that means I have succeeded in my first phase of the UMA - Troop Assembly.

Right now Mom says the puppies are based inside my tummy. They'll grow and develop and become the cutest troop ever, hopefully making their appearance around the 22nd of February.

Let's all keep our paws crossed!

Waistlines

In the New Year many people make resolutions to go on diets and lose weight - 10, 15, 20 pounds. As an act of solidarity, I thought I would examine my own waistline for a moment.

Let's see....

And January 25:



Hmmm... Do you see anything different?

Mom thinks she does, and in fact
she is 51% sure of it.

Of course that leaves another 49% in doubt, but.... what do you think?

Landed!

Yesterday Mom and Dad drove me from NYC to the outskirts of Washington DC. It was an adventure! Mom packed enough extra clothes and blankets and food and water to last for days "just in case we get tossed into a ditch."

But we didn't and it was smooth sailing along the I-95 corridor -- the road was dry in many places. To think there was over two feet dumped a mere 24 hours before...that is awesome. Here's to you, Mr. plowmen!

But I digress. Today is my first vet appointment to see my "progression."

Will Ms. Deb need to bolt out to Chicago tonight? Or, can she linger and wait until tomorrow, or even Wednesday? Only the lab knows...

I'll keep you posted.
