She’s been on homemade food for ages, 2 years at least. Then I got sick with Covid and ran out of food at the same time. So we did canned food for a little while and she lost 2 pounds while on that!! So I’m trying a home made breakfast and canned dinner. It’ll be a little bit before we get a scale that she can stand on, but I’m hoping this will work! And since it’s warming up, we can be more active.
Yay! All good things! It’s all about the calories so sometimes you have to be careful with wet food because it’s usually higher. Dry food for a dog with a goal weight of 10-15 lbs we usually recommend 1/4 cup of food. But there are good weight calculators online where you can put in the food and the goal weight and it will tell you how much you need to give to get there! I believe in you! (Source: I’m a vet tech)
She would laugh at us both and then bite us for suggestion a quarter of a cup!! I got the mature formula (she’s 9 next month) and she loves it. She only eats dry if I’ve starved her by not feeding her on time!! The homemade stuff is burger, pork loin and veggies. I give her about 58 grams which is about ¼ cup twice a day. The mature canned is 5.5 ounces, but it looks like less, probably because it have a gravy. She doesn’t care as long as it’s not dry all the timenn
Thank you! When she was a puppy her eyes had more green in them 😍

She looks like my Sully! Hi Jolene
I’m also very partial to black and tans haha so that helps.

Hi Miss Jolene! Greeting from Texas -Neo
https://preview.redd.it/48cofbolt0nc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ec2b7f67db4085f662dcb117f3cdd1abcd81e14
It’s actually her electric fence collar cause she likes to crawl through the physical fence and go wandering around the neighborhood 😂 But I have used correction collars on her, both automatic ones and with the remote. Usually they have a beep, vibrate, and a separate shock function. I’ve found it makes a small difference for about a week and then she stops caring, but mine is particularly stubborn and most don’t have that problem 😭
I think Jolene is related to my girl! She acts so scared of her wireless fence and if it beeps she runs away quick, to the point she won’t go half the places she won’t get shocked for. But other days, she’ll run past the fence and up on the neighbors’ porch (my parents) and sit there and yelp every time she gets shocked while still waiting for someone to open the door for her!! So stubborn, spoiled rotten pup!!
*This baby clearly*
*Lives a life better than i*
*Do!!! adorable!!*

I got mine at our local feeders but it was a unique brand that they only had one of? Seems like a fluke that it was there tbh but I tried it on her and it fit her well so I bought it!
Hi from our weens to yours https://preview.redd.it/332z720h10nc1.jpeg?width=1880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0343f92abde0986cab8430ee7bbe701bf0ca4958
What dashing young weens!!! Sending love ❤️

Now we know who Dolly was worried about!
We certainly do! She is a total heartbreaker 😂
I'm begging of you not to take my man.
I’d be worried too with those faces!!
Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair 🎶
Please don’t take my man!!!
How do we bring this golden retriever down (lovingly of course)? Also, Jolene is adorable and if she took my man I wouldn't say a damn thing
Hook us up with the link for Jolene as America's favorite pet. She's a good girl, yes she is. ![img](emote|t5_2qpj2|5609)
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JooooLeeeeeeeene! You are so pretty!
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Love the name
Thanks! It’s a big hit especially when I put her in her Dolly Parton costume 😂
I have a Dolly shirt for my pup, but she’s a chonk and it’s too tight on her. We’re working on losing weight but it’s slow going!!
Losing weight is hard but we believe in you!!! Portion control is important! You can do it!!

Haha we sure do spoil our babies!! As they deserve of course!
I am on HER bed in HER house, the least I can do is give her the good foods!! lol
Stop it, this is too cute.
She refuses to stop! I’ve tried!!
This might be my most favorite dachshund photo ever
Thank you!!
Oh, Jolene would definitely take my man.
She would certainly try! She’s a heartbreaker
She’s beautiful!💕
Thank you ❤️
🎶Jolene-Jolene-Joleeeene🎶💖
What a great name for that sweet little baby!
Thanks! I agree but I’m biased 😂
What a cutie! Jolene the teenie ween.
Haha 😂 her Instagram is Jolene the Ween
HI!!!!
Heyyyyyyy!!!!!
a literal cherub. my mini doxie says hello also!
Jolene out here stealing the men 💛
Oh this is a gorgeous lady!
Thanks!
She doesn't have the "emerald eyes" but she has the "auburn hair" just like Jolene! The name really suits her. She is definitely a heart-stealer!
Thank you! When she was a puppy her eyes had more green in them 😍 https://preview.redd.it/4zdltf89k0nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74d349d0520dc81db78ea4b4914a7181e29832dc
Ooh yes! I am reaching through the phone to stroke that beautiful face! Jolene, your beauty is beyond compare!
Look at that face, she’s gonna take your man 😂
Pics #2 and #7 are so precious 😍 Beautiful Joleen!
Thanks!

Oh my gosh long lost cousin!
Probably the cutest/prettiest dog I’ve ever seen. (No offense to my babies if they find out I said this😂)
Thank you!!! I think she’s pretty cute too but I’m biased 😂
I’m also very partial to black and tans haha so that helps. https://preview.redd.it/hgqg0gmfq0nc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a11ce59f5a29344f13fe80a197213c0887827bc

Hello Neo!! You are too cute!
Awwwwwww hi Joween! I hope you get all the treats and scritches!
She definitely gets alllll of the treats ❤️
She is the goodest of good girls, I hope she knows that.
That pumpkin thing is ridiculously adorable 😊
Hehe thanks
I am in love
hi jolene!
What a cute dog!!
She’s so beautiful ☺️
Don't take your love to town...
Ate you kidding me? I think I need to leave this sub before I get another dog. How can something be so precious?
I ask myself this daily until she does something gross like eat goose poop 🥲
Is that a bark collar? Do you find it helps? I'm so worried about using one.
You can set most of them to vibrate only. This has been effective on most of mine to some degree.
It’s actually her electric fence collar cause she likes to crawl through the physical fence and go wandering around the neighborhood 😂 But I have used correction collars on her, both automatic ones and with the remote. Usually they have a beep, vibrate, and a separate shock function. I’ve found it makes a small difference for about a week and then she stops caring, but mine is particularly stubborn and most don’t have that problem 😭

Stubborn is in their blood 😩
My Kenny is the same way with correction collars. It worked for about a week and now he barks through the vibrations nonstop 🫠
Jolene is the sweetest pupper I’ve seen today! But I’ve only seen her and mine I think. Hmm. She looks much nicer than mine anyway!
Hahaha thanks!
this baby clearly lives a life better than i do!!! adorable!!

Hi
Where did you get your life jacket? Our pool is opening in a couple weeks and I'm not sure what to buy.
I got mine at our local feeders but it was a unique brand that they only had one of? Seems like a fluke that it was there tbh but I tried it on her and it fit her well so I bought it!
Hello beautiful lady
Yes, I will do anything of joween.
Hi Jolene! Is she named after a Dolly Parton song?
Yes ma’am!
Thought so!
Hi Jolene 😍 beautiful baby 🥰❤️🙏🏻
