We are happy to report that Torii is now at her goal weight of 12.6lbs. She looks great and clearly feels much better. Torii motors around, she can get up and down stairs pretty quickly and her breathing has improved. She's also become a pretty spry girl earning herself the nickname "Busy" - she's such a terrier!
You saw in the post that Torii likes broccoli. She also likes diced up fruit and other veggies. She certainly doesn't think she's been on a weight loss plan!

I give Torii a little less than 1/4 cup of chopped up fruits and veggies. I give her a variety for a couple of reasons:
1) to give her choice of trying new items - seems Torii likes everything!
2) I like her to try out different textures as that works her brain. I'm always looking for ways to mentally stimulate Torii and this seems to be a nice addition.
3) fruits & veggies are good for dogs and they help her to feels full
