I just saw a thing on the news... they have a pill for people to give their dog to make the dog lose weight. Ok. I have a dog.
She is exactly 1.5 lbs above her "optimum" weight. The reason for that is I have been giving her a cookie each day instead of only on weekends. If I start to give her half a cookie a day, and then back to her weekend-only deal... she'll be back @ target.
So. Why do we need a friggin' pill. She can't open the fridge door and give into the temptation of a cheesecake.
