Summertime is on the way and I've been working hard to get ready for it.

My people have been talking about getting ready for "swimsuit" weather. They have been passing on desserts and silly stuff like that. Makes no sense to me.

Me, on the other hand, I'm fattening myself up.

I remember last summer, it got pretty hot and I found that I was just drinking a lot of water to stay cool. That made my tummy full and I didn't eat as much. I think last summer I was much skinnier than I am now. And for dogs, that's not a good thing.

In my world, being fat is great! I love being fat! It means that you have food available whenever you want it and you don't have to worry about where to find your next meal. It symbolizes success in the dog world and I want the other dogs in my 'hood to know I'm successful :-)

So...I'm eating as much as I can get my mouth around. Fattening myself up, just in case I lose a little bit when I retain water this summer.

And that, my friends, is how you get ready for summer in dog world. Jealous? Of course you are...now...off to find some cheesecake :-)
