Hi guys,

It’s certainly been a while! Things have been so hectic around here that I had absolutely no time to write any updates. By “hectic” I mean quitting-my-job-and-starting-my-own-web-consulting-business hectic.

Here’s an update on where Keeda and I are at with our dog fitness:

Keeda’s now been living with us at our rental for a few months. She previously lived with family as the agent did not allow dogs. My mom overfed her greatly and no amount of exercise I gave her each week when I came to visit would successfully make her lose weight – each time she started getting skinnier, my mom would feed her more!

Keeda’s gone from a diet of dry kibble in the morning and 4 Legs at night (too much of each) to one of a chicken neck in the morning and a B.A.R.F. patty at night (She goes nuts the rabbit patties). Over the past few months she’s lost weight, going from 19.6kg to 16.2kg and she is now officially not overweight!

I have to admit I’ve been slacking on exercise for myself, which means she’s been slacking a bit as well. It’s been cold and rainy and I couldn’t force myself to go for runs, so we’ve just been taking walks and visiting the regional park for Keeda to run around every weekend. Now that it’s starting to get a bit warmer it’s time to get the ol’ running shoes out of the closet again. I think the best way for us to stick to a regime is to have a schedule. I’ll ramp it up gradually. Starting next week, we will do the following:

Monday: walk
Tuesday: bike ride
Wednesday: walk
Thursday: run
Friday: walk
Saturday/Sunday: regional park

I apologise to everyone who’s submitted directory listings – I now have the time to go through them and will gradually be sifting through and getting back to you.

I’ll post some before and after photos of Keeda soon.
