I thought the same thing. The dog used to be in decent shape. From his
postings, it appears that Paul is in the "big bowl of food, left out,
and junk food treats" mode. Certainly not doing that do any favors.

Yep, some dogs just don't have an "off" switch on their
appetites. Muttley looks like of these. You can't just "free
feed" them; you have to measure out their meals to maintain their
optimal weight and remember that treat calories add up.

Paul and Muttley


Great pictures, I particularly like the expression on Muttley's face in
the
third photo. Love the cabin and setting btw.

I, too, like his smile.

Kind regards,

How about his girth? Does that seem healthy and from a caring owner?

I just came from the national specialty and was very surprised at the high
numbers of overweight dogs there. Thankfully none were selected in the
judging!

Horrible, isn't it? There seems to be a segment of "breed only" people
who don't think that dogs need activity (or even training, for that
matter). And then there are people who think food is love.

I was glad the fat ones were quickly eliminated, sending the message that
overweight in a hunting/herding dog wasn't going to wash.

If Muttley is a guard dog, perhaps Paul envisions Muttley as a bowling
ball. When I saw Muttley last year, I told Paul that there was a weight
problem. it's metasticised. Yet Paul is quick to berate overweight wpmen,
so I sense he's somewhat critical of the problem

Muttley is well on his way to looking like an engorged tick.

Only where women are concerned. There's a reason that some of us
think he's a misogynist.

Maybe men aren't appealing to him, and if they are less`attractive to
women, it gives him a better chance? His friends all seem to be women.
I think you just like tossing around that accusation.

It's got nothing to do with appeal and everything to do with
thinking you are entitled to pass judgment on a group of people.

Men can be contemptuous and even hateful of women and still hang
around with them. That's how they get their jollies.

I think you just like tossing around that accusation.

Not at all. It's just that there are a depressing number of men out
there who hate women.

Perhaps. But just as equally, you are extremely quick to detect contempt
for a class of people, when often the contempt is directed at an isolated
individual who typifies behaviors historically associated with the gender.

My best friend even blames her worst attributes on PMS (lets face it.. men
shouldn't have that)

I keep telling her that she's using PMS to make excuses for behaviors she
is well aware that is innapropriate.

A vast amount of women blame PMS rather than take accountability.
