On Bones and Chew Toys and Treats, OH MY!

I’d like to blame it on the prednisone — and yes, that contributes — but really it’s because he has more bones, pig ears and treats than he can handle. I figure at this point, we’re not worried about cholesterol, the long-term effects of obesity, or even of mobility. (On the mobility front, he’s losing muscle in his hind legs.) Still, it’s gotten to the point that random kids point to him and say, “Mommy, that dog is fat.”
The thing is that I am feeling decidedly porky right now too — and that leads me to my worst fear. You know how dogs and their owners often look alike? I am terrified that I’m going to wake up one morning and look exactly like a pug.
A fat one.
