Taylor, you are a beautiful gal and to tell you the truth, your weight is a total non-issue. I will not judge anyone as I don't wish to be judged (and lord knows, there's a lot about moi that can be judged!!). My weight fluctuates by rather large amounts and I do feel better when I am down in weight, but that doesn't prevent me from gaining weight! Anyway, I may not be good at keeping myself in 'check' but I CAN do right by my pets! |
I believe Taylor mixed two things into her post. When the pups have medical issues they can also be and/or appear overweight. I have an overweight foster pup and there are multiple medical issues. My vet has never suggested weight loss as it would probably cost him his life.
To see pups in public and assume they are not loved because of size is a stretch and in my opinion. Actually, it is doing the same thing as the people who look at others and wonder why they don't lose weight. It is all judgmental.
I guess partly because I see so many TRULY unloved dogs on a daily basis, I am having a bit of a hard time grasping all of this.
