labs are the best dogs (pits come in close second for me) and i just think that its so facinating how much my diet affected hers, like, somehow we BOTH ended up eating more and gaining weight, and then we BOTH ate less and lost more weight than we gained. shes definitely my familiar, but its also another good example of why fats shoudnt have pets. I got her from a shelter that was run by fats and she was 20 lbs overweight and had just been cured of heartworms, but the vet says that because i got her weight under control that she should still be able to live another 5-8 years.
