Oh, my.

We went to another check-up at the vet today, and Lacey, Duchess of Dachshund, has increased from 6lbs, 4oz when we first got her (2 1/2 weeks ago) to 7lbs, 10oz today. Wow!

It requires eating, of course, but it also takes a lot of snoozing to gain that much weight so quickly. Lacey knows how to sleep. Yep, she's among the pillows on my bed, if you're wondering.

You're spoiled rotten, I told her, and at such a tender age.

I have no idea what you're talking about, she said.
