This pic of of my family's dog, Dustbin (they named her Dusty, but I thought it too common, so now she had a dreadful name!)
Dustbin has put on a lot of weight recently so mum went next door, where Dustbin spends a bit of time.
She knocked on the door and a lovely man and woman answer and yes, they have been giving Dustbin a couple of treats during the day. They give her:
Milk for morning tea
Vegetables for lunch
Biscuits (human not dog) for afternoon tea
She has a nap on their bed after biscuit time
Then ... bones with marrow for dinner!!!
No wonder she now looks like a beer barrel on legs.
So they agreed to the following:
Watered-down skim milk for morning tea
Keep the vegetables for lunch
No human biscuits
A long walk before the afternoon nap!
And OK, keep giving her bones
Apparently their 15-year-old dog died recently so Dustbin has been helping them through their grief. So sweet.
