Ok, so I haven't been a dog person since before kindergarten. I'm totally a feline person. Love me, love my kittys, & run, run very fast from the dogs. I was bitten when I was in third grade & I never quite got over it.
Then I met Sumo...
Sumo is my boyfriend's pug. He's very friendly & well trained. At first he was really hyper around me, because I was new. He calmed down though. Now he just greets me when I come over & then goes back to whatever he was up to before. He's really cute.
Sumo & I have become good friends. He curls next to me sometimes, & of course I sneak him a little bit of people food sometimes (not often though). Since his family doesn't quite keep up all his needs, I brush him, & take him for walks (he has free run in the fenced backyard). Since he gets a little too much food & not enough exercise, he's a little heavy, but we are working on it. He does usually get food twice a day, & it's usually measured, but he needs more walking.
I do have 2 questions. What else can we do to help bring Sumo's weight down & is there anything we can do about him shedding so much?
