four, five, SIX! Count them – SIX pounds lost. From me. Yes, me. I’m carting around six less pounds today than I was last Tuesday. Yippee!!

We recently added another dog to our family. Her name is Sophie, a long-haired Chihuahua. When I first brought her home, Smokey, a gray short-haired Chihuahua, was thrilled that she was here and wanted to play immediately. Finally! A friend to run and play with!
Sophie wanted nothing to do with him. [...]
