      <lead><![CDATA[dont have kids. I have two dogs. Theyre my kids. And I love them. And they are a LOT of dog between the two of them. Charley Rose is my 8-year-old girl. Payton is my 5-year-old boy. Theyre both German Shepherds  super smart, super obedient and just all around awesome four-legged kids..]]></lead>
      <text><![CDATA[So, as a good dog-parent, I know its important to keep my kids healthy and take them to the vet for check-ups and their yearly exam. In our most recent visit to the vet, I was informed my dogs are in great health with the exception of one thing. Theyre even MORE dog than usual. Yup  theyre overweight.This is actually a brand new thing for us. These two have been lean, mean running machines since the day they were each born. That pick above is about three years old. But, lets face it, theyre getting up there in years. And I didnt even REALIZE how much weight theyd put on over the last year. It seems in my OWN quest for fitness, I completely forgot to keep an eye on the dogs! Bad mom!!!Charley is only about 5 pounds over where she needs to be. Shes always been on the petite side (for a German Shepherd). But Payton has about 12 pounds to lose. Hes 104 pounds right now. And the vet would like to see him at around 92. Here he is, looking sheepish at the vet after his weigh-in.So, were being a little more strict with how much food they each get. And were trying to go on longer walks. These two are definitely not lazy! They just need Mom to pay a little more attention to THEIR fitness too. I guarantee theyre up for the challenge. And in the process, Im sure Ill get healthier too. Well be fitter as a family!]]></text>
