I'm Not Fat, I'm Just Big Boned

Hey everyone. It's me, Oscar again. Boy am I upset! It all started yesterday morning. I was perfectly happy. I was asleep in the bed when mom came in and got me all excited. She asked if I wanted to go for a ride. Did she even have to ask me that? Of course!! So I jumped up and ran to the door. Mom can be so slow sometimes! We hopped in the car and away we went. The ride was going good at first. We were going in the right direction. I thought that we were going to the park for a little walk and maybe some harrassment of squirrels and ducks. But we turned. Uh-oh. I didn't like where we were going. Then we pulled in. My worst fear was realized. We were at the place where they torture sweet dogs like me, the Vet's office. I was poked and stabbed with metal objects. Then the doctor got on to mom. Ha ha. She's in trouble. No wait. They were talking about me. So what if I weigh 21.6 pounds? I'm big boned. Then I heard the doctor say something strange. What's a diet? No more treats? Exercise? Surely they weren't talking about me. I mean, mom could stand to lose a few pounds herself.  Finally we left. Thank goodness that was over. I hope I never have to go back there again. Yes, I teased the pups when they had to go a few weeks ago due to the unfortunate diamond earring swallowing. I should have kept my mouth shut.

So this morning, I got up, went outside, and came back in ready to eat. I was so looking forward to stealing a few bites of this:
Yum, puppy chow. This is the stuff. So delicious and fatty. But when I got to the bowl, it wasn't there. I saw mom go to the pantry and get a bag of food. It was something I have never seen before. It didn't look like my usual food (Like I ever eat that. I let the puppies eat my food and then sneak in and eat their food. The parentals are none the wiser.) This is what she comes out with.
This can't be good. Weight reduction food? Yuck. And I only get ONE, yes, one cup a day. Are they trying to kill me? Mom put the food down and I tried to be a good soldier.
I choked it on down. I can't believe that the puppies actually wanted to come eat this with me. Are they crazy? But I ate it and even smacked my lips for mom so she wouldn't feel bad.
Enough was enough. That stuff was gross so I went and washed it down with some water.
I see where mom has gotten me some new treats. I will have to take precautions because if they are anything like my new food, they are disguisting.
After the torture this morning, I went to the couch to recover.
Ahhhh.....the couch. My blanket. I was getting ready to do some major snoozing. But like anything, my little buddies wanted in on my prime real estate.
Oh well, they are warm. So I will go with it. That is about it. I am getting tired and need to sleep for about 6 hours. So if you will excuse me, gotta go. Oh- one more thing. If you are able to swing by my house, could you please bring me some bacon? I am starving!!
