hrm
Now I know a few of the readers of this stupid LJ are fans of my mom- hey, so am I, but time to rant
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN?
She-does-not-listen.
I have discussed with her, endlessly, why the dogs are not "trashcans" for spare food- table scraps make most dogs fat (Drake will never get fat, he's some kind of black hole). My mom overfeeds all of our dogs- overfeeds them in NORMAL feedings, and then she gives them all kinds of extra shit from the table. I didn't want to get fast food the other night but we did- I got some shitty Carl's Jr. Salad and ate it. Some kind of insane miracle that nobody in the family ate the two giant things of fries. So what does mom do:
HERE'S THE DRAMA, IN CAPS FOR THOSE OF YOU SHORT ON TIME/PATIENCE:
She dumps the fries into the dogs bowls and tells them to eat them, and I tell her (did not ask) to pick up Murphy's bowl. I could give a damn if Freckles eats crappy food, they've already fattened her up to the size of two Heffer's- she's cute and nice and all, but the poor, poor dog is going to have a heart attack in a couple months due to her weight. I don't want that for Murphy- he's overfed as it is, has maybe 5 extra pounds.
Dogs are MUCH HEALTHIER if they are LEAN AND HUNGRY than fat- much healthier. You should be able to feel their ribs ever so slightly just by placing your hands on them just before their hindquarters- no pressure required.
Whatever.
Drama.
Stupidity.
