The Front Porch Swing

Hon, these aren't love handles...more like love bushels. Yeah...bushels o' love! Doesn't that sound better than "muffin top"?

"Are you talkin to me? Huh, are you talkin to me?

I always have Labs or Lab mix dogs and you can't free feed a lab or soon you have a barrel with legs.     Once a day feedings and it's pretty easy to control their weight by simply giving a level scoop or a heaped up scoop for a couple of days to a week.  One scoop a day does them well...anything above that and they are ottomans with legs once again.  My boys and I always laugh at how easy it is to maintain their weight by these simple adjustments and how nice it would be if someone would control our weight for us in that manner. 

I've met plenty of labs like that. So sad. Just so the owner can have more of the "I love you, food!" face.

I've had the best time for the last couple of hours. Went to the hatching eggs thread. So much fun and didn't cost a cent. I don't have my incubator yet.

Boy everyone has been chatty today! I got 14 out of 15 eggs today.... Been busy with laundry and haven't gotten online much. I've folded and put away 6 loads already, plus have a load in the dryer and one in the washer.... and I'm still not done....

And they call you a nonworking mother or stay at home mom...funny, isn't it? When done properly, a stay at home mom works harder than any other gainfully employed person out there.

Shew! I probably have at least that many more... not counting towels! I haven't even gotten to the little girls' clothes yet.... I wash everyone's clothes separately because it makes it easier to put away... So I have at least one more of mine and hubby's, probably 2 of each of the little ones clothes, and then gathering up all the strays that seem to pop up after you get everything washed! THEN, I have towels and bedding....
And guess what... when all that is done, I will be ready to start over with the big kids' clothes! YAY! NOT!

I say when it warms up take all their clothes away and make them wear just their undies! LOL

I sure hope you make your own laundry detergent.

Lol... I have always had dogs that were not so food motivated.... LOL... Sight hounds, Aussie crosses, Dachunds, Boston terrier. Poodle. No If I had a dog that was obviously going to gorge himself... Feeding would change for the whole pack.
