The Small Dog on Dieting

Posted on May 2, 2020 by Sue Vincent

She doesn’t feed me. Not at all.
I’m getting so much thinner.
In fact (apart from several treats)
I’ve not been fed since dinner!

I speak your language pretty well,
There’s ‘breakfast’, ‘lunch’ and ‘tea’…
‘Elevenses’ and ‘supper’ too,
So why just two for me?

She says that I am getting fat,
A touch too widely waisted,
Because of all the stuff I eat
That she has barely tasted.

I say before she breaks my heart
And puts me on a diet,
She should look in the mirror first…
That ought to keep her quiet!

    I can tell just by looking at her pictures that Ani is so weak from starvation she can barely stand on her paws. Poor baby!

    Our dogs are weak from hunger too. They don’t get NEARLY enough treats. I am personally of the opinion that Bonnie could eat until she bursts and nothing could stop her. Good thing she doesn’t have thumbs.

      Yep…I am a terrible and cruel person for starving her so. Even though she now actually chooses which of her treats I am going to give her …
      I don’t know where she puts it.
