When I was 53 lbs, three different vets said
that I was *way* too skinny. So did/do lots of
of my fat ass owner's friends and family and
even strangers she meets on the street.

Most everyone thinks I'm being starved
except my fat ass owner.

I like to countersurf, because I don't
get enough nutrients when my fat ass mommy
gives me canned pumpkin to try to fool
me from feeling the starvation pangs.

My name is Hattie. I weight 47 lbs.
How much do you weigh?



================================================== ======
SHELLY IS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T THINK HATTIE IS STARVING

"when i got harriet she was emaciated, so i asked my vet for advice on
slowly adding weight to her. six months later i took harriet in for her
spring check-up and my vet was surprised that at how thin she still was."
--shelly couvrette


"raises hand i've been told by three different vets that
harriet (53lbs) is *way* too skinny. we're still
vet-shopping, BTW."

--shelly couvrette

"if you really can't resist
it when your dog pulls the "i'm starving!" routine G, you can give
him some frozen green beans or a small amount of plain pureed pumpkin.
i would also suggest putting the food out of his sight. i keep my
food--still inside the bags, which are tightly rolled down--inside
trash cans in the closed laundry room. that keeps it fresh and keeps
it out of my dogs' sight."

--shelly couvrette

"heh. i get the opposite response. people think that poor little
harriet is positively starved to death. i've actually had people stop
me in the pet supply shop and tell me that i need to fatten her up!"

--shelly couvrette


"i think that may be part of the problem. who wants to go to a
vet who tells you you're hurting your .widdle precious? i
think the other part is that some vets really don't *realize*
that what they consider proper weight is fat. after having
been told by a couple of vets that my dogs are too thin, i've
got a dim view of vets on that topic."

--shelly couvrette

"my mom is kinda that way, but not *as* bad. she thinks that harriet is
awfully skinny, so feeding her table snax is okay. she tells me that
just a bite won't hurt."

--shelly couvrette


NOBODY IS STARVING FAT PIG SHELLY

NOBODY WILL STOP SHELLY ON THE STREET
AND TELL HER SHE IS STARVING HERSELF

There are a lot of big fat women on these groups who starve their dogs
out of vanity, but shelly is a special case.

shelly is moor.e than a little bit beyond the pale

Shelly has OCD, and maybe she's just a little obsessive about measuring
out extra tiny and discrete portions with a tiny measuring cup, or
counting out pieces of green bean or pumpkin that she gives her dogs
when they give her the "I'm Starving" routine. When grandma tried to
give Hattie a snack, shelly probably went apeshit, because it was in
violation of her Obsessive need to oversee every tiny calorie that goes
into her widdle precious' mouth.

shelly's a special case, a special kind of dog abuser.

In Shelly's defense...

I've owned 2 boxers (female, fawn) in my lifetime. Both of them were
free-fed, and neither of them EVER weighed more than 50lbs. One of
them was lucky to weigh in at 45lbs. My dogs (different litters,
different times in my life) always had food in their dishes, were fed
table scraps, and had no other health problems. No vet ever commented
on them being too skinny. Some boxers just don't get that big. I
wish my babies got bigger but it just wasn't meant to be.

Well three different vets DID comment on
Hattie not only being skinny, but being
*way* too skinny. And that was before she
was starved out of another 12% of her body
weight.

I hope that heelps.
