Past simple

I was in awe at the sheer size of the guy.

He was taken into the vet to be put down.

I think he was loved by his previous owners, but maybe they didn't realize he was overfed and under-exercised.

When I first saw him, I thought, okay I have to do something.

There's no way I can give up on this dog.

Even though he was morbidly obese, and had to have been in pain, he just had such a happy personality.

I decided that I would adopt him and take him home.

It took him about 25 minutes to get up the three steps into the house.

He wanted to be part of everything, but he just couldn't move around that much.

The vet said he should weigh around 75 pounds.

You're talking like a hundred pound weight loss.

I thought, what exactly have I agreed to?

I don't think he'll ever run, but I think we'll be able to go for a walk.

But with exercise he needs to stay motivated.

But I just felt like he wanted to go outside and go for a walk.

Each day we would try to go just a little bit further.

He was so excited to see the people at the dog park, but it was just too much work getting up.

I have a black Lab called Abby, who is extremely active.

So it was very helpful for Kai to have her to keep him motivated.

It's like a big brother and younger sister relationship.

She gave him a little bit of motivation for what he could possibly maybe one day do if we dared to dream.

When Kai started to lose weight, I was so proud of him.

Come on, keep going. you're almost there.

As he got more mobile, he could actually go meet and greet every single person.

I started thinking he would be a really good therapy dog.

I would film every weight holding my breath, thinking, this is going to be the one where we don't lose anything, and it never happened.

I'm so excited. I just want it to keep going.

Lots of people, as they got to know him would be like, "That's the same dog?”

He could do all the things you knew he wanted to do.

There was no getting out the door without him.

Every day is a new day, and it's a great day.

When he was getting skinny, we went on a big road trip.

And he was happy to jump back in the car and just carry on wherever we're going.

It was a big deal to me for him to be able to step in the Pacific Ocean.

Here we are buddy, it's the Pacific Ocean.

If we drove ten minutes or twelve hours, he doesn't care.

When Kai hit the target weight, I couldn't believe it.

It took just under a year for Kai to get to his target weight.

I've never been so excited or so proud of anything in my whole life.

Now that Kai can be more social, he's on his way to becoming a therapy dog.

He's actually going to be in front of patients.

Regardless of what happens, whether he's successful or not, I'm just so proud of him.

I'm honestly more worried about me screwing up than him.
