This post is especially for two special ladies who were the previous owners of the doggies that we have on our farm…yes, you know who you are!!

We will start off with our Fat Doggie who can’t stop stuffing her face.. she likes to forage around the farm and eat copious amounts of fallen fruit and coconuts.  She is a whopping 88lbs in weight now!!  In an attempt to get her weight down, I have been feeding her a low calorie diet of rice, beans and green vegetables once daily only.  I have also been restricting the meal to half the usual amount.  She has been coping well with the new diet although, I do have to confess that she does whine and complain a fair bit.  No doggie treats allowed right now!

Oh, and this is Mad Doggie…

She is the one that used to eat walls and so her owner was forced to find a new home (our farm) for her.  After a whole string of mad and frenzied farm animal killings, she has calmed down considerably over the years.  We attribute some of these changes to self-therapeutic toad-licking  and the judicious use of a training collar.  Now, she can run around on the farm without attacking a single animal and she responds to commands.  Phew…we nearly gave up on her at one point but fortunately we have managed to train here.  Sit…good doggie!!
