Chubby dog

This is me eating human food when no one is looking.

Lately I've heard my owners complain about how fat I've been getting. It is not my fault, I love to beg at the dinner table. I also would do anything to get treats. Honestly, I think I should get a treat just for looking cute - and I look cute all the time.

My mommy has been trying to put me on a diet. Every time she gives me a treat she cuts it in half, she ignores me when I'm begging for more food and she has even decreased the amount of dog food I get.

When it comes to exercise, I still get three, 25 min walks each day, and plenty of go fetch games at home. But somehow, I haven't been able to shed the few lbs I packed on last winter. I go to the dog park often and I run with my buddies a lot, but the weight is just not coming off that easy.

Some of my treats have changed. I've been getting carrot sticks and I love them, but every chance I get I might get into my owners' food and steal whatever I can.

What I like the most is when we go visit other people or when friends come over. I give them my puppy eyes, I do my cute little howls, and some way or another I get them to throw me a piece of anything they have on their plate.
