Subtitle: living, loving, and losing weight with the world's fattest dog
First published: 2009
Description: When Jason moved in with Bev, it was supposed to be temporary. This is, until Daisy the chihuahua came to stay. Hot on her heels came Elvis the pug, and then, of course, their puppies! When Daisy is unable to drop the post-pregnancy pounds, and her health is in danger, Bev and Jason pull together to lead a healthier life-style--and become a family (albeit an unconventional one) in the process. Their new life is based on an enhanced appreciation of the moment, a healthier approach to food and fun, and the constant company of their pets, who are living reminders of the transformative power of unconditional love. Along with approximately 30 photographs, sprinkled throughout the narrative are healthy food and drink recipes for pets and people ("Scrambled Egg and Sunshine" and "The Low-Carb Lowball"), dog-training tips ("How to handle your pet at the vet"), and a diet and exercise plan ("Take a Walk on the Wild Side").
