My golden retriever is still a fatty.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

He was at the vet today and weighs 106 pounds, STILL.

He is 8 now, and is a fat, lazy, old man, that the other 8 year old dog runs circles around. He has ALWAYS BEEN A FATTY. STOP JUDGING ME, VET TECHS.
I made them EXPRESS HIS ANAL GLANDS.



I can't hate them too hard. They just shoot me a Look, and then rub his head and call him a oozy tub of love. And then gush over how he is a GOOD BOY because he sits and heels even when he is bursting with excitement at all the people.

He sounds cute!! How often do you get his glands expressed? I always mean to look into this for my dogs but the only time I think of it is when I'm dry heaving from the smell of their ass.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

This was the first time. He's been itching his asshole all over my carpets.
They said after they didn't really need DONE. He's just an asshole who likes to rub his asshole all over my stuff.

Lol dogs love to be assholes. I'm googling this now, thanks for the anal gland inspiration!

I have a chihuahua who used to be a chunky monkey for the longest time but after I took him from my parents and he stays primarily with DH and I, he has lost weight. Plus I switched him to a weight loss type of food for little dogs. I know fat dogs are cute but it's not healthy. I'm sure you know that but maybe try feeding him weight control food. It will take some time but it does work.

My one rabbit is super fat, too. I've tried chasing him around and putting him on a diet, and nothing works. Then I caught my thin rabbit setting aside and hiding food for him. At that point, what do you even do?

You beat me to it!

He is on good food, no table scraps, etc. (He is fixed). He used to go to doggie daycare and run his lungs out every day. Fatty then, fatty now, while the Old English Sheepdog is a rail.

It's the same way with my cats. I can't keep weight on the one, and I can't keep weight off the other.
(And yes, everyone has separate bowls, and they are watched to make sure they don't steal food).

I don't have any pictures that show what a fatty my one bunny is. We only keep flattering pictures of him.

I am in love with this.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

So does Ghost.

Poor Caden grows so weary of having a smacked ass up his nose all damn day.

[wrathofkuus]

He's clearly sucking it in here, because he usually looks like a furry watermelon.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

Naaaaaaw. I'd smuggle him food too.

[wrathofkuus]

Only you and Lipsy would think that rabbit needed more food. And because I like to show off my babies:

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

AHH
I LOVE lop ears. I have very nearly come home from many, many county fairs with one.

One of my moms pitbulls is a major fatty. She's like 13 years old and her tits drag on the floor. They put her on weight control food and everything. She's always been tubby though.

Kuus- what are rabbits like as pets? Do they snuggle? Play? Just hop around in their cages? Or do they get free range of the house like a cat? Litter box?

They're so cute!

[runforrest]

Awwww, I love the white around his face. Our golden was just getting that too when she was 7, but we had to put her down 6 months ago

We also have a gray cat - that picture could have been taken at my house it's so close to how our cat/dog looked.

[OHMBLEEGOHHHHH!]

His white face makes me sad.

[wrathofkuus]

They're... themselves.

They litter-train themselves, though it's mostly that they go back into the cage when they have to pee, poop, or are just hungry or thirsty. You can let them out wherever and give them free range, though I would suggest putting baby gates on the kitchen entrances as they loooooove trying to play chicken with descending human feet. We give them one large room at present, though it used to be more before that area was under renovation.

They do like to snuggle and be petted, but not picked up (that usually means something is going to eat them, especially when that something is their human going OMNOMNOM and pretending to eat them). They also like to play, although they like to be the ones to make up the games. For example, they love to play fetch... except that they way they do it, they pick something up in their mouths and fling it, and you go get it and bring it back. And every single one seems to love to be chased, and then make a quick turn so that now they're chasing you.

They're lots of fun, and very loving. I'd recommend them as pets.

[mkesweetie]

Aww! They sound like fun!

[revolution]

awwww... he's cute!

I have a female golden and she was up to 108. She was indeed a fatty too.
