Our friend Henrietta, from Houston Pet Talk is back and sharing her latest insight on staying slim!
Well, it’s the New Year and I have only gained a respectable 5 lbs from the holidays. I thought that was quite an accomplishment until I was aptly reminded by my cousin Gidget (otherwise known as the Taco Bell Dog) that 5 lbs is 25% of my body weight. Didn’t know I had such a famous cousin?…well…we’re “distant” cousins. Very distant. And besides, why would I listen to someone who’s claim to fame is calling “Here lizard, lizard, lizard”?
So my next trick will be to remove the 5 lbs since swimsuit season is around the corner. I’ve tried Billy Blank’s “Kickboxing For 4 Leggs” and Suzanne Sommers’ “Abs-Olutely Canine”…didn’t work. I’ve tried The South Claw Diet, Cur-Tail and Biscuit Busters. No results. I’ve decided I need a new approach…I’m going to shake it off. UhHuh, that’s right. I’m going to dance those Greenies right off to my newfound love, Country Music.
As I see it, no other genre of music has paid more homage to canines than Country Music and I’m going to return the favor by making it my music of choice and my weight loss muse. Classics like “I Wouldn’t Take Her To A Dog Fight ‘Cause I’m Afraid She’d Win” or “I Was Drinkin’ Out Of The Toilet When Life Gave Me The Flush” are definite “must haves” for my IPAW.
Now, I can think of one more reason to hitch my leash to Country Music. The men are fine. I’ve posted notice at the local watering hole that I’m no longer available. I heard the howls of pain all the way down at the Piggly Wiggly. Yeah, I’m movin’ on to Dierks Bentley (me and his dog Jake could make a good roadie team!). That boy makes my tail wag!…Wonder if he’d write a song for me? It might go something like this:
Went down to Houston where I’d never been before
I ain’t seen such pretty girls with as many legs as four
There’s really a special one that’s just right for me
She loves a good steak and a sniff of a tree
Our future together would be filled with lots a’ fun
She’d bring me the paper and I’d rub her belly in the sun
As she drinks from the toilet, I’d have a bottle of beer
She’d lick my nose and I’d scratch her behind the ear…
