    Hahahha!

    When he was too heavy to walk for exercise, they would put him in the bathtub so his fat would float and he could scoot around!!!

    Clearly, he didn't get into NROLFD (new rules of lifting for doxies) otherwise he wouldn't have that loose skin!!

    Also, his treat now is carrots, which I think is so freaking cute.

    Yah, apparently they were elderly and couldn't properly care for him...just fed him to show love. But they did the right thing in giving him up!

    How did he not blow up?! I've had some fat foster dogs that I got down to normal size. I'd never thought about dogs having loose skin, but it does go back to normal after a while. None were that overweight though, sweet googley moogley! Great job you did there!

    Just want to clarify I'm not his owner, just an adoring fan. The link will take you to a page about how his owner helped him lose the weight!

    That boy is lucky someone stepped up to help him. I don't know how the owners could think that was ok. :frown:

    I've been following this story from the beginning. I agree: if he can do it, then we definitely can!

    So adorable! WTG Obie!

    I have a chiweenie, but she's a picky eater. Skips meals all the time. I had to put meat fat on her food just to get her to eat regularly and gain a little weight. I didn't want to pet a furry bag of bones.

    That is actually what I give my labs for treats also... Everytime I try to peel me some carrots they are sitting right there waiting for theirs.
