I worked for a chiropractor for many years, who warned us all that you can carry around 10 pounds of, ahem, POOP in your colon at any time! TEN!! He said if you must weigh, use a body fat composition scale, one that shows your water content, your fat, and your muscle. He wanted us all to work out, and build and maintain muscle. He saw many "skinny fat" patients, who had slim bodies, and no muscle (and they seemed to be the ones getting hurt the most!). He encouraged us all to lift weights to stay strong! Give yourself many points for being outside and moving!!Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11599315082163306355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472301814571448308.post-67062434036394995562021-06-06T14:32:54.801+01:002021-06-06T14:32:54.801+01:00You may be right Debby.

If you're not, you probably should be. But additional fluid can make it seem as if you've gained weight.

There isn't a bath, which is just as well as I couldn't lift her in or out, and she certainly wouldn't volunteer. We did have one Lab who loved any water, so absolutely loved a shower and getting her to come out was quite a feat, and half a big of treats!<br />The weight gain is, as Carol says, just muscle.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472301814571448308.post-86237677597695067542021-06-03T10:36:34.113+01:002021-06-03T10:36:34.113+01:00All forgiven now and smells divine.All forgiven now and smells divine.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787732343048847565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472301814571448308.post-33978245076253163072021-06-03T10:34:51.391+01:002021-06-03T10:34:51.391+01:00I'm always hungry!

I wish I still had our sous sol with hot and cold taps that could be deployed through a jointed hose and the window for a warm exterior dog shower.

Isn't it funny how our dogs let us know when they are displeased about their bath. Thank goodness they forgive and forget in a few hours. Rick will get even more cuddles being nicely fresh scented.
