Pleasantly Plump

The Pack's trip to the vet went off nearly without a hitch. If you discount them dragging me out to the car and us nearly being late because I had to get my oil changed where there were some major winners as the Jiffy Lube, one of whom stole my seat when I got up to hear the status of the truck. Randi and Earl made friends because they are darn cute. Earl nearly had a heart attack when they took Randi out to weigh her. She weighs 79 lbs. The doctor said that her 'shaking' is nothing to worry about since she still seems to be alert, as evidenced in the video below. The doctor did say those words that every girl dreads. She said, "Randi could stand to lose a few pounds. She's a little thick in the waist." Then to make matters worse, she pointed out that Earl is not thick in the waist and Clark is a good weight. Poor Randi. As an explanation I said, "Well, we used to walk 3-4 times a week, but I can't walk anymore so they don't get as much exercise." The doctor said, "small changes in her diet should do the trick." Sara suggested maybe Randi's dishwasher pre-washing could be the reason for her plumpness. Hard to argue with that. Earl doesn't pre-wash the dishes and he is not pleasantly plump. I eat what's on the plates and pleasantly plump would feel like a compliment right now.

In the video we are watching The Real Housewives and there was an animal on the TV. Randi does not like animals on the TV, even if they are not making noise. Let's say an animal walks into the frame, she will jump up off the couch out of a dead sleep to make like she is going to take down the TV. It's a bit dark because it was dark and I just wanted to get her shaking to show the doctor. The doctor said that you definitely don't see this kind of thing every day and she would do some more research because it is "odd."
