[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 296872"] Glad your pups are doing better. I wish there was a CM for my husband's new kitty, who seems developmentally delayed and a little difficult child-ish. Personally, I think CM is great! I don't truly know how to "get" a dog to lose weight. However, our dog lost weight when we simply slightly reduced her food intake and gave her less daily treats. We simply broke her daily treats in tiny pieces...One or two treats would last an entire day. Bottom line...we rreduced her daily calorie intake. We also played with her more. It took a LOOOOONG time, but she did lose weight. Oh and we measure her food...there is no guesswork. Below is something I have kept with me for awhile...perhaps you would like it: Cesar Milan and His Thoughts Parade Magazine January 2009 Apparently, by working with animals, this dog trainer has learned many of life's most valuable lessons. He mostly refers to his work with pets, but mentions how some of his thoughts would apply in all relationships, including those involving people. [B]Some items...[/B] Live in the moment....don't look back...don't worry about the future. Nurture a balanced life...exercise, discipline and affection daily. Trust your instincts...pay attention to non verbal cues. Be direct and consistent in your communication..not matter what species, great relationships begin with clear and consistent communication. [U]We teach people how to treat us.[/U] Learn to listen...make the time to lend an ear to those you love or for those who want to transform their lives. Don't try to fix their problems. Don't hold grudges...try to resolve the problem at hand and move forward quickly. Live with purpose...don't get bored...contribute...we have an inborn need to work/contribute. Celebrate every day...rejoice in life's simplest moments. Enjoy and celebrate gifts given to you. :happy: [/QUOTE]
