Pet Travel Photo Gallery: Bonser
We were on vacation in Brookings, OR over the 4th of July holiday. We hiked up on a hill that overlooked the beach and snapped this photo of our 14 month old Aussie! A smilin' dog is a happy dog!!!

Ask the Vet
Q. I have a chubby dog, and I've tried and tried to get the weight off her. Our best guess (combined between my vet and me) is that she's a beagle/border collie/Australian shepherd mix. She'll be 6 in January and has been overweight since she was about 18 or 24 months. I've tried diet foods with very little success, and any weight she does lose, she manages to pile back on. I'm stingy with treats -- only give little pieces at a time, and they're low cal. She's about 60 lbs., and the vet would like to see her between 50 to 55 lbs. She was 45 lbs. at about 9 or 10 months old (spayed at 6 months). She gets 2 cups a day of vegetarian kibble (she's developed food allergies and there's no weight loss low allergen food) and limited treats. We walk for 40 minutes twice a day. We've never missed a check-up and besides environmental and food allergies, she's in perfect health. Thyroid was tested just over a year ago and it's fine. My vet keeps telling me to cut back on her food. But, if I cut her food back any lower than 2 cups a day (1 cup twice a day), she's insanely hungry and won't settle. She'll "surf" the counter, help herself to the garbage, anything to get a morsel of food if I cut her back any further. I don't know what else to do to get (and keep) the weight off of her. Can you help? -- Deborah C., Toronto, ON Canada
Ask the Pet Relocation Expert
Q. Hello, I am trying to help a friend get reliable information on bringing her adopted dog from Uganda back to her home country of Germany. She will be leaving in just a few weeks. Can you please tell me what are the quarantine and other restrictions for a dog from Uganda into Germany. Thanks! -- Laura S.
