Well the craziness of Summer is almost officially over! Bradley is back to school. His first year of Middle School - looking at him it's hard to believe it's the same little 4 year old that came into my life 6 years ago! It's really bittersweet to see him growing up so fast! We just got back from a family vacation at the beach. We all had a blast, except for missing our bullies! There were several times whenever one of us would just out of the blue say, "I miss Winnie & Dutch!" or "Could you imagine what Winnie or Dutchess would do?". On the plus side, we were able to scope out the area and there were a lot of stretches of beach that we would be able to have the dogs during certain hours. Definitely something to keep in mind for next year!
It was the first time we've left Winston for any length of time. But I knew they were in good hands with our very good friend and Vet Tech, Megs. Still, it was sad to say good-bye! Luckily we received regular updates and they did fine.
We were so anxious to get home to our bullies and they were so excited to see us when we got home! However, we got a stern talking to from Megs about Dutchess's weight. She's gotten a bit overweight in the past several months. So...it's diet time! I'm keeping her on her regular food for now, just with smaller portions. Then it's going to be time to switch to a diet food. Haven't decided on what brand I'm going to switch to. So I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any!
