She's gotten BIG!

You know how people say this about kids they haven't seen in a while? How much they've grown. Look how big you are!

My mother-in-law says this about our dog, each and every time she comes over. This is not often; we see them once or twice a year. But every time, she says how big my dog has gotten. Umm, my dog is 14. She's the same weight she's ever been as an adult. I can prove it with her vet records. She has not grown. She will not grow anymore. She's not a human child. She's also a dachshund, so she's a small dog.

It just makes both me and my husband laugh. We just give each other that look when she says it, knowing we'll laugh together about it later.
