Can you believe they put ME on a DIET? Me! Your faithful canine blogger.
Hi guys! It’s Oscar and if I haven’t told you before….the humans here have me on a diet! I got some treats at Thanksgiving, especially when grampy dropped some Chex Mix, but after that it was back to my diet.
Grammy started me on this diet a few months ago. She took me to the Vet place, put me on the scale and they said I weighed 37 pounds. I have no idea what that means but they didn’t like it.
Now they give me a smaller bunch of kibble and a bunch of green beans. I gotta admit, those green beans taste pretty good. BUT THAT’S IT! No table food, no pizza crusts, nothing.
Grampa used to be the best! He used to eat pizza and then give me and Baxter the crust. No more!
We used to have “Flying Potato Chips” when he made lunch. I was pretty good at that game. Nope! Don’t do it anymore.
Grammy was real happy the other day when she took me to get weighed. I’m down to 32 pounds, BUT IM STARVING HERE! True my knees don’t seem to hurt but what do they think, do I need to get in shape for bathing suit season? I’m a BEAGLE! I LIVE TO EAT!
They get mad because I lick the floor sometimes. Hey! Grampa is a klutz, he drops things. Maybe he dropped a steak!
Grammy says she got the diet from the American Kennel Association. I bet there are no dogs on that board. No breed I know would endorse this. If only they covered the green beans in butter! Or a cream sauce! Yeah!
I get one bowl in the morning and one at night. I’ve petitioned for “lunch” to be added but no luck so far. I keep hoping grampa will forget to put the lid back on the kibble container some night. “Don’t worry, I’ll get it!” Ahhhh, if only……
I get real close when they make dinner in case anything falls or if it comes close to the edge. I got a pretty good reach. Grampa was stirring some pasta the other night when a little bit fell out. That was HOT but it was on the floor so it’s mine. I was hoping he’d drop the whole pan but he didn’t.
So that’s my reality now I guess. I’m working on my sad face to try and guilt them into feeding me more. I figure they might be in a more giving mood now that it’s Christmas.
If you see me out on a walk I’ll be easy to recognize. I’m the skinny beagle who’s ready for a modeling career.
If you slip me a sandwich I’ll be your pal.
