chubby boy

John took the dogs to the vet's to get kennel shots. After a brief check-up we learned that Nuki is now 128 lbs., Naicha is 130 lbs., and Yama is 67 lbs. And we also learned that Nuki is a bit too chubby.

So we have to watch what we give him more carefully now. John did research on Malamute's diet and found that beef is actually not great for Malamutes, and salmon would be a much better choice. He also found that it's actually not too expensive to cook for Malamutes, and therefore I think I'll be making Nuki special food on the weekends. What we can do now, in order to help Nuki lose weight, is to substitue green beans with some of his food, and cut the meat we give him with his meals.

And while I should be more fit myself, I'm starting to take Nuki for more longer walks and play with him in the backyard more often. It's good for all of us.
