If I’ve done the math correctly, Stoney needs to lose about 10 pounds before we move to San Deigo.
If his crate and Stoney weigh less than 70 pounds, he costs about $350 to ship. If he is 71 pounds or more, he’s $480.
Of course, we are taking him either way, but $130 is a lot of money. So this week he started his diet plan. I switched him from Iams Lamb & Rice formula to Iams Weight Control. We also looked at the bad and discovered that we were offering him about 50% too much food each day. Even “better” is the fact that Stoney is protesting the switch by not eating very much. When you put that with the fact that we’ll be gone for a week and he always eats less and spends more time outside when we’re away… this plan may just work.
Aren’t you glad the airlines don’t make you pay more for being overweight?
