Brett took Bailey to the vet this week for his annual check up and shots. The vet weighed him and he tipped the scale at 98 pounds! Last year he weighed in at 85. So, according to the vet gaining this amount of weight in a year's time is like a human gaining 100 pounds! Our poor dog has become fat with an extra inch around his middle! I'm not surprised since the lack of outdoor activity we've had since Austin was born. He's not getting his nightly 1 hour walk like usual- maybe just 2-3 times a week at 40 minutes max.
So, Bailey Boo, I'm sorry to say that you're officially on a diet. Your poor Labrador joints are too fragile to be carrying around a fat tire. No more table scraps, no more extra dog treats, a precise amount of dog chow. I promise, we do this because we love you. Ruff! :)

98 pounds?? whoa!!! and he was huge already!
i can't stop laughing at the pictures of you and brett through the decades....HILARIOUS!
He carries his extra 100 doggie pounds very well, I must say. But health calls... don't worry boy the rest of us are cutting back on scooby snacks too!
I think Bailey and I would get along perfectly - we have an amazing amount of things in common! I hope he has more will power than I do.
