Bogie's vet called this morning to make sure we started Bogie's diet (I'm not kidding). Bogie was really hoping that we would 'forget' about said diet, so he's quite depressed (->) to hear that 'follow-ups' were already happening. We've started giving him half of small treats - vs. full small treats - as a first measure. And the occasions that he begs hard enough for scraps of human snacks have come to a halt. Hopefully these small steps will have an impact.
