Uh Oh ... the vet said she could feel every rib in my dog's body...

... and no doubt all of the barbecue sauce that was on it, plus every hamburger, every slice of cheese, every lick of ice cream cone, every extra doggie bone.

Time for a doggie diet.

Of course, it's NOT me.

It's the rest of the overindulgent family. I would never do such things, never.

I'm like "Dogs are supposed to have a 'waist'?" Who knew.

Anyway, 3 months later, and she's down 7 lbs and NOW I know what a dog's waist is supposed to be, and look like!

Thank god he didn't suggest I needed to find my waist. I would have socked him in the mouth!

Cats are supposed to have waists, too, but this cat is so furry you can't see his waist.




Yeah, that's it. He isn't fat. It's just that he's really furry.

She's fat. We love her. I will start walking her when I start working the stressful job I start in a week. She is such because of inactivity. She's a lovely brat and she gets what she wants when we eat and she eats a healthy diet otherwise. We have cut way back on sharing.
