    My previously fat old dachshund ended up at the vet hospital and got diagnosed with pancreatitis. So now all he gets is special low fat diet food and special low-fat, flavorless chewy sticks. I feel this meme so much.

    He’s lazy, doesn’t like any particular toy or game for more than 10 minutes, and doesn’t really get excited about anything but seeing me, yelling at everyone and everything, and food. Mostly food. Now he’s skinny and absolutely hates it.

        I’ve made it clear that either way, he’s dying if pancreatitis. The second he gets another terminal illness, he’s going to eat himself to death like he wants. A Euthanasia Fiesta if you will.

      Poor little guy, but you’re a great owner for doing all of that for him.

    edit: Scratch that. I stand corrected. I’ve deleted the original comment to help keep its fallacies from showing up in searches and I hope y’all keep your pooches well away from all things caffeinated. 😶❤️

      That’s not right, it’s the theobromine content that matters as it causes a hypertensive crisis since they lack the enzyme to metabolise that type of chemical (methylxanthines).
