While driving Miss Lucy to the Vet on Saturday, Bill and I discussed our plan!!
You may think, why would taking a dog to the vet, require a big Plan??
Because you see, we anticipated that he(vet)may have to speak to us, about the Largeness of our Lucy. She is a black lab, and we were not ENTIRELY sure what she should weigh, but we both were shrinking in vet fear talk.
Our dog is an angel, that we know, its the "hamhocks" hanging off of her that we were a tad concerned about. So as we entered into the ROOM, and they took Lucy to be weighed, I let Bill know what we were going to say. "She eats low-fat food, and very few low-fat snacks"!!! Period!!! " We don't know how or why , she is just large-boned"!!!!
Bill whispered, like we were going to Old Sparky, " We are not going to tell a lie".
"Yes we are, get over it"! " I replied, not whispering!!!!
Bill then preceded to explain to me ( big mistake) " I will tell him that she never eats food off the table."
" Well that is a BOLD FACED lie!" with my eyes rolling back in my head.
Bill still explaining......" No my lie is embedded in the truth, she doesn't take the food off the table, we give it to her!"
" Shut the hell up, what are you saying?? It is still a lie, and a bad one!", my voice may have been raised!!!!
The vet returned with our our Lucy, and a mini lecture. Lucy weighed a slight 87 lbs, 90 lbs. is considered a "Fatty". So we just have to cut back on her intake, which is vet BS.
He could have said cut back on her food, its Saturday morning Doc.
So we had a perfect checkup, for our perfect plump dog, who pulled her crazy, lying, parents to the car!!
Saturday morning, at its best!!!
