\"\"<\/p>\n

I arrived from Ireland on Saturday and realised straight away that my food rations may not be what they once were.
\nHaving lived in a pub I have enjoyed lots and lots of tidbits and unfortunately this shows in
\nmy waistline.
\nHelen said it showed in hers once too when she ate far too many Cream Eclairs but if I do like her and eat smaller portions and drop the habit of eating everything in sight I too will lose weight.
\nShe said I will feel a lot better for it as every inch of fat on the outside is an inch of fat on the inside pressing down on my internal organs.
\nI am not sure that I am looking forward to this and on Wed I am going to stay with Jane who is very sensible with dog’s diets and walks a lot.
\nI enjoy a walk or two if it is a gentle stroll but I don’t think this is what Helen and Jane have in mind. Oh dear !!
\nI used to belong to an American couple who bought a pub in Ireland and then sold it.
\nThey went back home and phoned the new owners to say they didn’t want me anymore.
\nI was very hurt by this as I had been a loving and faithful companion.
\nI heard mutterings from the humans that this wasn’t the first dog that they had done this to.
\nThe people at the rescue told me not to take it to heart that some people are very
\nshallow that I am better off without them and that as I am such a nice
\ncharacter I will soon find a home with people who will appreciate my
\nkind and gentle nature.
\nDooley and Rocco have been very kind to me and when I was a bit upset when I first arrived they let me share their beds.
\nI had to make sure Fen didn’t gobble up my food, I’m not good at protecting food as it has in the past come fast and in great plenty but Helen stood in front of my bowl and wouldn’t let him have it so I was able to relax and eat it at my own pace.
\nFen has gone to stay with Jackie and Bob so my food is safe.
\nAs you can tell I think a lot about food and if you have been on a diet you will be able to sympathise
\nwith me.
\nI had better go now as Dooley is about to tell me his Echo story again and even though I have heard this at least a dozen times I must look interested and try not to fall asleep!<\/p>\n

\n

Sammy is a collie mix approx 2\/ 3 years old<\/p>\n

She is very friendly and currently very overweight.<\/p>\n

She belonged to an American couple who returned to America and left her behind.<\/p>\n

\n

She gets on very well with other dogs and is very friendly.<\/p>\n

She will need a strict diet and more exercise!<\/p>\n
