In one month she will be 15 years old and that, along with the before and after thread, told me I need to share some photos of my best girl.

This was my first photo of the Cow.



Obese, old, and unhappy.




however, still spirited.




Starting to jump, not just slide


She couldn't handle the heat for a long time


But she's always been adorable

I think that's it for now... no promises but this is all I could find on my flickr for now..

Omg, I didn't know she underwent such a transformation in your care. That old lady lucked out big time! Also can't believe how amazing she looks at 15!

She did, she lost 35 lbs. She was about 75 lbs and is 40 lbs now.

I took her in without a clue of how important she would be nor how long she would last. She's acting older lately but still has some spunk to share.

She introduced me to flyball (she was an obsessive fetcher, not so much anymore) and dock dogs.


She's a pretty spectacular bulldog.

Oh my goodness, she was HUGE! How long did it take her to get down to what she is now?

I love her so much. She reminds me of Shadow.

It has to be because I am flat out exhausted and the flu is making me lose all sense, but when I saw those first pictures I was like "Wow.... Adrianne keeps her dogs incredibly overweight" and then I saw the other photos and was like... "I don't understand. What sorcery is this?"

About 10 minutes later I figured it out. She looks fantastic now, and I will just go to sleep and hopefully I will get my brain back soon.

She looks sooooo good


Also, YOU ABOUT GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK. I don't think nice things when I see just a name as the title without realizing what board I'm in

Agreed.
She looks great for her age! Love that smiling face.

That us simply amazing! Fantastic job, she looks years younger in those last pictures!

Thank you all, she really is a spectacular dog. She had us all fooled too, that weight was slowing her down by a lot. When I got her she was turning 10 (birthday was told to be around the first of march) and so slow and lazy you'd never expect the crazy energy and drive. I figured i would drop some of weight and rehome home her for a shortened life. My parents fell in love with the ease of her and boy were they overwhelmed when the weight kept dropping. Denis says the previous owners probably fattened her up to slow her down. lol As the weight dropped her energy level sky rocketed and my parents would find her pulling down plants (probably my spring pole work transferring, oops!) and swimming at all hours. Eventually when my dad fell ill I took her back and never looked back. Aside from the fact she has a bad knee she would have made a pretty cool sport dog and she has made a fun dock diver.

For her birthday we're doing a barn hunt in two weeks.

I will always have an oldie because of her, it's really opened up a new love that I can't imagine being without.
