Have you seen my dog? He's FAT. He can't jump in the car to go with us anymore and he other issues that I won't share the details on. So, the next time he gives you that sad puppy dog face, please don't feed him, just send him home.
He really doesn't need a whole chocolate snowball. The ones with the creme filling, and an inch of marshmallow surrounding it. Those things really aren't so good for humans, let alone an obese dog. Luckily, I caught the one you gave him yesterday before he could consume it. But it makes me wonder how many other snowballs you've fed him.
And he really doesn't need a complete hamburger meal with steak cut french fries. It is kind of you to share -- but he just comes home and gets sick. (And cleaning up the mess is getting old.) The same goes for the days you feed him spaghetti, chicken breasts, and any other treats you share with him.
And as much as he may whine, I do feed him. I promise! I feed him boring food, but it is formulated for dogs and he does like it. Plus, it really is better for his system. And I am getting concerned about his life span. He snores terribly at night, and sometimes, I think he has sleep apnea. But who can blame him? He is overweight in a terrible way. His vet wants him to lose 30 pounds.
He was really doing well over the summer. Did you notice how nice and trim he was looking? But now's he's even heavier than ever before. And I'm really worried about him.
He is a very nice dog, and I do love him tons, but I'm trying to help him be healthy. I promise, he'll still love you just as much if you scratch his belly, rather than fill his belly with Halloween treats and Hostess snowballs.
