How spoiled is your dog?
| Thu, 09-16-2004 - 12:31am |
I swear I think my dog doesn't know it's not a person. We lost our other dog, her lifelong companion, last week :( so now I think I'm completely overcompensating with her. She's becoming sofa cushion dog. Dachshunds are not supposed to be fat. It's just not right. She's always been spoiled rotten, but now all three of the boys and both I and my husband are handing out treats like they're going out of style, and she's quickly turning into what we affectionately call TubTub. She wasn't svelt to begin with, but this is getting ridiculous--I think I threw my back out picking her up today! I have to admit, yes she has a hat (and rubber boots--but I swear I bought those just because I thought they were funny!), and she even has a sweater for the winter, but I'm afraid I'm going to turn into one of those women who kiss their dogs on the mouth when I'm old.
Anybody else out there with a pooch that they can't seem to say no to???

He sleeps in our bed, usually between dh & I, head on the middle pillow, lying on his back with upper arms (I mean paws) on top of the blanket. He doesn't eat dog food or kibble, and has always refused to. He went 3 weeks without eating as a pup, and our vet finally said feed him whatever he will eat. So now he eats rice, chicken (no skin) and veggies. It's embarassing, but whatever! I also have a jacket for him, but have never put him in it. He refuses to play catch, and it the biggest suck in the world. It's not even like he's a dog. Sighhhh................

We also have a chihuahua and the JR and the chihuahau sleep under the cover with DH and I. They are pretty spoiled too. DH and them have a ritual everynight eating cookies or chocolate. I guess they get so much exercise they arent overweight.
He doesn't really hunt all that much, he did bring a rat to the door once, and when he was younger he would try to catch baby geese when we were camping. He doesn't seem to have much interest in it thankfully!
