Dogini's Way: The notes of a dog therapist 
Is your journey like this: Starting small, ending big? 
  I started off just right, like the picture on the left. Now I enjoy a snack every so often. So you can see what has happened to me as a result. This is apparently one problem that is resistant to psychotherapy, even the dog variety. 
 
When you can't even fit into your collar... 
  Haroldi's daughter, Ninotchka, caught me off guard in this very unflattering pose. I had just found a dead fish by the lake and buried its remains for safe keeping. 

I know that she loved me very much, as I did her, and she even put this adorable picture on her greeting cards.

I do enjoy a cool drink and 

 
a late night snack..
  My humans think that late-nite snacking is a problem. For me, it's just fine and I also like street food as a supplement to my own dry boring stuff.  

I know a wide spray of people that are happy to feed me. Even the evening door man in New York City gives me 2 dog biscuits every time I go out. (I let him know if he's short one.) 

For the pizza at the left I relied on a quick grab in the street. Then I held on so no one grabbed it from me. 

My humans should worry more about their own diets and less about mine (particularly Robertina).

A comprehensive look at the diet literature. 
This will tell you what Robertina eventually did about her eating too much and walking too little problem. It's too bad that she didn't know all of this when I was younger and could cover 20 miles in a day.

This will give you a realistic look at what has been shown to be effective.

This probably won't work if you have a chronic weight problem, but what does?
