Here is a picture of my puppy. He's 13 and has a collapsing trachea and eye issues. He's on meds, but still loves us unconditionaly. We're taking it day by day and have been for about 4 months now. He's a Yorkshire Terrier and LOVES people. He finds it hard to breathe during some days. He's very peppy though and works out every day! Never a day off with him!
Here is an update to why you HAVE TO drink water...
Water and Weight Loss
Drinking water may is very important when trying to lose weight. Water contains no calories, fat, or cholesterol and is low in sodium. It is nature's appetite suppressant, and it helps the body to metabolise fat. Current research shows that high water intake reduces the amount fat deposits. Without enough water, the kidneys cannot function properly. As a result, some of their workload is pushed off onto the liver, in turn preventing the liver from operating at peak levels.
How does all this tie into weight loss?
Because metabolising fat is a primary function of the liver, and because the liver can't function at peak levels when taking on the added workload from the kidneys, less body fat is metabolised and more is stored. This leads to either weight gain or reaching a plateau of weight loss. When dieting, we restrict the calories we take in. By doing so, we lessen the total amount of water available to our bodies since about 30% of the average person's water intake comes from the food they eat. This gives us even more reason to raise our water intake.

What a great photo. Hope your pup has many more happy days.
Dude! I love listening and I always look forward to when you'll have a new podcast out. You always have interesting and helpful health tidbits on the blog. Thanks. Nice podcast today. I guess I have been doing the same thing with the music, just didn't really pay attention to it. But, it works for me. Take good care of Snickers. :o)
