Michele, your very welcome..and michele you hit the diet secret square on the head...u must balance diet w/exercise and add equal portions of self discipline....we treasure/love our doxie's..after my daily 7-8 mile run and before the mini choc l/h's dinner I take them on 10-12 min run (they love it, despite the 90-95 degree heat/same percent humidity here in atlanta) I love to watch them run..could swear their smiling...

FV, glad the weighted vest works for you..am impresssed you're up to 30 lb..Ida told me there is a 40lb vest too.

Everyone else..good luck in you diet/exercise routine..and am curious too...where is don??
