The dangers of pet obesity
Posted on September 1st, 2009 No comments
Lately, Jim noticed his dog Bismarck was getting too fat. Being a canine equivalent of Garfield, Bis hates the outdoors. He despises exercise and will prefer to sit on my favorite TV couch all day. Since he reached six months of age, he was feeding him only one square meal a day with a snack or two in between because he was afraid he would become overweight. His vet had given me this advice. But that didn’t stop him intelligent pooch from getting those extra meals which gave him the extra pounds. Obsessed with food, he ‘thought’ of ways to get them. One night, his sister, arriving late from work caught him on top of the outdoor kitchen counter eating the cats’ leftovers. Once when he was busy, he caught a glimpse of him outside where his nephews and niece were playing. He was begging for those Oreo cookies they were munching on. They have this naughty habit of eating only the filling and the lower half of the cookie, giving the other half to Bis. Later on, he learned that this happened all the time.
