Weight Issues and Public Shaming

romani - your sister should have put the diet dog food bag not in the trash, but proudly and obviously displayed on top of the trash can when it was left on the curb so that the neighbor who gave it to her would see it being disposed of!

I know who Lisa is because D2 watches Vanderpump Rules, a spin off of the Housewives show. Lisa owns the restaurant and the show revolves around the wait and bar staff. Lisa shows up every now and then to reign in the drama and assert herself in her role as owner and boss. Most of the cast seem to have the maturity of 8 year olds and are mostly self involved, mean spirited, and ethically challenged. I guess this is supposed to be entertaining.

I think I had heard of her because she appeared on Top Chef just Desserts. Or was that a different “real” housewife?

“Can you imagine how pissed off dogs must get when they are put on a diet?”

If you want to see evil, put a cat on a diet. :smiley:

Nevermind, I don’t know if we are talking about humans or dogs.
Will keep reading.

In typical CC fashion, @VaBluebird, I think we’ll be covering ALL of it. :wink:

Greenwich, yes that is Lisa V. She pops up on other shows too.

" I have a large dog. He’s a little overweight but mainly just big "

Yes, but is he SEXY ?

My female corgi is always on the hunt for food, so I measure her kibble carefully and no table scraps for either of them. There was a diet version of the food she used to eat , but it didn’t make a difference so both of my corgis eat the same. She is definitely on the lazy side compared to our male. She doesn’t mind comments on her curves

^^ Have you had her thyroid checked?

My dog is SO sexy! :slight_smile:

I’m too sexy for my dog.

“Can you imagine how pissed off dogs must get when they are put on a diet?”

Our beagle got a little pudgy so I reduced his food… He got back at me by getting into the garbage… :o3

My dog is actually too old to be sexy.

Our dog was too sexy for my car so I had to buy a new car. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

People occasionally accuse our dog of being fat, which greatly offends my wife. Her response, 1. She (the dog) is perfect. 2. The vet said her weight is fine, 3. What you think is fat is actually her fluffy coat. When she is wet she looks skinny. At this point the dog is very old and healthy so clearly my wife is doing something right.

I had a 28# Maine Coon, can I join in? He has since passed but my little #12 all black used-to-be-a-wild feral took to biting me if I didn’t give him a treat every time he came into the kitchen. I tried to put him on a diet but I’m a little bit afraid of him. We’re going broke on treats.

i don’t know what a Maine Coon is but I wouldn’t keep a dog that bit. No way. We gave a dog back to our breeder who had turned south and was growling at family members.

A Maine Coon is an awesome cat. I’ve had a number of them- but topped off at 17 pounds! They are sweethearts, but they do like their food and treats!

I had no idea people would get offended if you mention the weight of their dog. Now I know.

I would not be offended at all. We tell our Calico cat that she’s fat all the time! It doesn’t seem to bother her- although maybe that is why she pees on the mat by the litter box when we travel!
