No time to add much this morning as I have a busy day ahead.

Good morning and welcome to another week of #April #Accountability #check #in   
 
Here is your #daily #checkin for #Wednesday 5 April 2017.    
 
Yesterday I was had a pre work trip to the vet.  I have 2 dogs and neither of them are in good health at the moment.  They are both Staffordshire Bull Terriers. The dog (Ripley) is 9 and was diagnosed with lymphoma in November.  We didn't expect him to make it to Christmas but he is on a mix of steroids and chemotherapy and is doing OK.  The bitch (Roobarb) is 8 and has something wrong with her leg/hip or foot which we are still trying to get to the bottom of. 
 
I visit the vet at least every two weeks in order that we can monitor his weight. Before they were unwell I had often considered fasting them for one day a week and changing them to a raw diet. I would definitely consider it more seriously if I were to have another; with everything I read, it just all makes sense. 
 
Its seems odd to me now, how for 9 years I worried about their diet/weight/exercise far more than my own. 
 
In a way, their ill health has had a positive impact on my health as, no longer able to walk them for 3 hours a day I began jogging. 
 
In other ways, in particularly the frequent toilet trips as a result of the steroids, have been far less positive.  As he loses all his hair, I also don't think that I will ever get it out of my clothing and soft furnishings. 
 
When I started this WOE my goal was just 'a day at a time' and it's the same with the dogs.  Lets all have the best Wednesday we can!
