Fat Dog

We have three dogs - Sandy, an 8 year old lab/shepherd mix (at least that's what we think she is), Shelby, a 4 year old chocolate lab, and Izzy, a year old black lab. Sandy weighs about 74 lbs, and Shelby is about 76 pounds. Izzy, the PUPPY, weighs 82 lbs. You might think that Izzy weighs more because she's a strapping, big lab. Not so. Izzy's the shortest of the three by far, and she's roly poly. Just like her mother.


We took Izzy to the vet the other day, and the vet recommended a prescription diet food for Izzy. That shit is $55 a bag! Holy cow.


We're cheap, and obviously incompetent dog owners, so instead of shelling out that much for her food, we're feeding her less of her regular food and supplementing her regular food with cauliflower, which she seems to like. The vet had suggested the cauliflower, we didn't make that up.


I was a little worried about, um, cauliflower's gaseous qualities, but there doesn't seem to be an impact, thank heaven.


BTW, for anyone who's thinking about having three dogs, stop that. Three dogs is a world of difference from two. A multitude more work. Don't do it! Two are perfect, three is insanity.
