New Year's Resolutions

Mojo's (doctor mandated) New Yea'rs Resolution is to lose 10 pounds. So, it's a little more than a week in. How's he doing?
• We've cut down on his food. He gets 3/4 cup of food (instead of one cup) three times a time
• Instead of 4 cookies a day, he gets one.
• Instead of treats he gets apples, green beans and carrots.
The doctor said not to walk him until he was healed so we haven't increased his exercise yet, but we plan to. Does jumping on the bed count?

About Mojo & Friends

The adventures of a hilarious German Shepherd mix,

a sweet tabbico cat, a crazy Manx cat and a lazy fluff ball.

Affectionately known as "the kids," Mojo, Katie, Gunnar and Ozzy live with their mom and dad in an awesome college town in the South.

Mojo is a German Shepherd mix. He's outgoing, wants to meet and LOVE everyone.

As a puppy, Mojo was minutes away from being put to sleep when the folks at Pawtropolis rescued him. He was the sickly runt of the litter with fleas then, but after coming home with us he's grown from 4 pounds to 75 pounds (and back down to 63) and is one of the best dogs ever.

Katie is a sweet, shy cat who loves ham and playing with her shoelace. She also loves to cuddle. She was born the week of her parents wedding in her mom's closet. She was adopted and then abandoned by her then-family. But now she's a happy girl whose learned to purr. She was our first pet.

Gunnar is the newest addition to the gang. Born in the doghouse at my sister's, Gunnar was adopted shortly after melting our hearts after we visited. He and Mojo and the bestest of friends. Every night they play and groom each other. He's a Manx-mix. True to the breed, he's a round, roly-poly cat, who is super high energy and just a little crazy.

Ozzy is our newest addition. He chose us. Literally. He camped out on our porch and told us he was living with us. He tried to come in repeatedly. He resorted to kissing Mojo when we took him outside. And Mojo asked us why the kitty couldn't come inside. After a month of this, we took him to the vet and he was ours. He's since tripled in size and he's gone from short hair to luxuriously long haired. He loves to sleep and eat and will occasionally flop down in a lap for a cuddle.
