We know those fears, the anxiety, and the HUGE SIGH OF relief thats understated when you hear the all-clear. A semi-truck has been lifted off your backs! 

SO TRUE. I don’t think I fully realized the weight of the pressure until it lifted.

On a related note, one of June’s new modes of celebrating in her own way is discovering how many of our old school Italian neighbors who keep stashes of dog biscuits handy think that one fewer legs deserves extra biscuits! 🦴 (She now wants to approach people on porches at random just to see what they might have for her — we don’t actually let her!) One man we know (a keen dog lover with a pittie of his own) pursued us down the street on a walk with a whole box of biscuits that he pressed on us insisting that she deserved them. Such a kind fellow.  (Though at this rate how will we ever keep her slim?!!)

What I know 100% is you never want to look back one day and say I should have let Juno have that biscuit.

So well said!! I realized that pretty quickly, and yeah, we let her have all the biscuits.  It’s good for the spirit - for our neighbors, for us, and for her!  (…though we still draw the line at letting her rush random porches! 😂)

As far as the gifted box, they’ve become her after-evening-walk treat. She reeeeeaaally looks forward to that!!!

In the end we just watch her figure and tweak other things down if/when she needs it. (kind of something we’ve had to do all along, really)

We vote to take the biscuit and run Juno!! 💨 When Sally sees this, that will be her vote, too!

BISCUITS FOR JUNO, BISCUITS FOR JUNO !!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
💝💝💝

Loved this soooo much. ^^^ I’ll tell June for you - though she needs little urging where it comes to food!!!🦴🦴🦴

Holly - the moment I saw your gif I immediately though of that photo! And rest assured she got to eat every last one. They’re actually kibble from her morning breakfast. He record is 16, and at this point we’re mostly limited by the amount of flat space on her head. We’ve not tried with biscuits - it may be worth a go, but maybe not letting her eat all of those or she’ll certainly be queasy later in the day! 

I’m totally joining in your awesome new thread - how fun!

Sally - message received! And I can’t believe I was so careless with such nuclear levels of cuteness!!! - you’re so right, cuteness of that level must be wielded carefully and with due warning! With great cuteness comes great responsibility. 😉😂

@jerry - It took us a while to train Juno to do this. It was a pretty cool way to help teach impulse control, but it wasn’t instant by any means! Crazy hooman games!!

You’re welcome to visit us here in Hobbiton sometime!
