Monday, June 15
{166/365} Riley came into our lives in June of 2000. She was about 8 weeks old and full of puppy energy. Emily came into our lives in November of 2001 and a year and a half later we started noticing changes...in Riley. Emily would sit up in her high chair with her sidekick down below. We thought it was sweet how Riley would "guard" Emily. Little did we know, our pooch had an ulterior motive. Riley started looking a bit hefty and it occurred to us...she was a canine garbage disposal! If Emily dropped it, Riley lapped it up. One Cheerio led to 1000 and suddenly our energetic pup was almost 20lbs. over weight! Luckily we were able to get her weight under control (wish I could say the same for myself) and Riley went from 80 to about 65 lbs. Of course now she is nine years old and we have another toddler in the house. We are keeping an eye on her this time around but we still let her attack the high chair and what Liam has left behind. :)
