My Buddy Sumo

Believe it or not, my boy weights 178lbs. That’s right, 178lbs! … he’s a BIG boy! Even the vet couldn’t believe his weight. At first the vet thought that I was feeding Sumo way to much and suggested putting him on a diet, as well as a twice a day walking schedule which I complied with. Well, Sumo’s been on a diet for the last two years along with his daily exercise, but hasn’t lost a pound. At his last vet visit it was determined that he’s in perfect health and that I could discontinue his weight watcher’s diet, however continue his daily walking routine. I’ve decided to continue the same schedule … if it don’t need fixing, don’t fix it!

Sumo LOVES his toys, chasing squrals, car riding, and hanging out at the doggy park. He came into my life seven years … was a birthday gift from my life-time partner, John. Sumo and I have been through a lot, but if it wasn’t for his companionship and unconditional love it would have been difficult for me to get through the darkest year (2006) of my life … Sumo is my closest buddy and companion.
