WW Update

  Sor far I have lost 26 pounds on weight watchers! I'm doing really well and enjoying it for the most part. I do have my moments where I don't want to care about what I eat...but I am really enjoying eating all the fruits and veggies! I can't wait to go to farmers markets this summer!

A Not so Hairy Situation

  Oh my goodness! It has been so long since I have blogged! I do apologize but I have been having computer issues and unable to blog. Well, the biggest thing that has really happened is a mysterious condition that has plagued my beloved dane. Keena has been losing hair! She has patches of hair loss along the sides of her spine. It was bugging me so I took her to the vet to figure out what was going on. Well, she still weighs 141 lbs (holy cow!) even though I had cut back her food and we have been walking a lot. The vet thought it may be a thyroid issue so they did blood work. Fortunately, her thyroid is fine...but that means we still do not know the cause. Right now I am giving her two tablets of melatonin a day to see if the hair loss is seasonal. 
   All of this happened within the last month and today I was looking at the patches and I think the melatonin is actually working. It looks like some of the hair is growing back. I will post pictures later of her spots for curious parties to see. If they do not get better in a couple of months we are going to get a full blood panel done to see if it is due to some other endocrine disease. Keena doesn't care about her balding and they do not seem to bother her at all. I wish they didnt bother me!!! We will get it figured out...as long s she is happy and I'm trying to keep her healthy...that is all that matters!
