First, I have to tell you all how much I miss you! I took a new job that has me in front of the computer for the large part of the day and I just can't bring myself to get on it at night 
When things settle down, I can't wait to catch up on what's going on with everyone here...furred and furless....but I do feel compelled to share my news with you.
I took the boys to the vet today. They have both been on a diet. Seamus to lose weight and Bentley to gain. THEY DID IT :dance01::dance01::dance01:
Seamus lost 15 pounds and is down to a trim 125 pounds. I know it's not a lot, but he has had two knees replaced, bad elbows and hip dysplasia. That skinny boy can now trot and walks with NO limp and needs no Rimadyl. We are going to do our best to keep him at this weight.
When we got tall boy Bentley, he weighed 119 pounds. He sure was skinny. He is now.....drum roll please.....a solid 135 :kgo_027: I'm going to try to get some more on him as he's still thin and has no butt muscles to speak of.
It is such a relief to have them both at a healthy weight for each of them.
On the down side, but we can deal with it.... Bentley has cataracts in the back of both of eyes. They are in the very early stage of developing, so right now we are just to monitor them and have two month check ups and when they really start to impair his vision, we will discuss options with the opthamologist. Right now, his vision is only impaired in bright sunlight.
Skinny, healthy, super vision or not, we LOVE our Bennie Boy :heart:
Oh, the best news....Seamus, Bentley and I spent about 3/4 hour with the vet and our bill was only $28..... I couldn't even believe it! We are usually in the $200-$300 range when we go to the vet! Happy New Year to us!!
I hope the New Year is finding everyone healthy and happy and with lots of new Newf puppies.....just sayin.....
