Bessie is a 7 year old black lab/australian shepherd mix. We bought Bessie from a pet-store (something you should never do!) and she's turned out to be one of the calmest, most relaxed members of the pack. The first two years were a living nightmare - she chewed everything in sight and without Cesar's techniques to guide us through it, it was quite the ordeal. Since then, however, her only problem has been -


-food.
Food is Bessie's passion. She'd eat all day, every day. If we let her. For awhile, Bessie was severely overweight. We didn't really do anything about it until a few months ago. She just didn't look happy - she had a hard time getting up, moving, breathing - everything was a struggle. That's when we decided it was time we stepped in and we're proud to report that she's lost eleven pounds since September. :)


If there's one thing Bessie loves more than food, it's her pillow. Every year at Christmas-time, we buy her a new pillow. When we give it to her, she rolls on it and rubs on it the second it hits the floor and woe betide any dog foollish enough to stray close to that pillow. Bessie has what is known as a 'gentle-mouth', but there's nothing gentle about snapping teeth. She certainly loves those pillows.


All pillows.
