Poochies that pooch


From the "what will they think of next?" file: The AP reports that the drug manufacturer Pfizer has come out with a medicine to help your dog with his or her unwanted pounds.
A downside already predicted: Drug commercials for pets, which may go something like this:
"Does Fifi eat everything out of her bowl and Charlie's too? Does she saunter instead of run? ... Side effects may include incontinence, laziness, pregnancy, lack of interest in the tennis ball and heart failure."
Our cat, meanwhile, needs some help in this area. Bisquick weighs 14 pounds, last time we checked. (not exactly easy gettting him on the scale, either.) Time to see the vet.
In other news, my gym just got new bikes for spinning. Debuted for the first time this morning. It was a SWEET ride.
Take this poll about your dog:

Is your dog lean or a hunk-o-lard?
