Fatty wants to have her dog's thyroid checked. Coming out of lurker status to share this story from the dog park yesterday. I was formerly subscribed to reddit fph but this is my first post to either. I am happy to be a voater now! I apologize beforehand if the writing is kinda bland but I am rushing to write this before class. So yesterday me and my girlfriend are at the dog park with our terrier mutt. As we enter the dog park we immediately sit on the bench (leg day before) next to the main gate that is on a large flat concrete pad. We are just enjoying watching all the dogs playing together when I notice a plump pooch that will not leave the concrete pad. He comes up to us and very affectionately begs for pets and was a very sweet dog in general. However, I can't help but be frustrated by the fact that this dog is at least 50 lbs when he should be about 35 lbs for his frame. This dog is hindered by this extra weight and not out having fun with the other dogs because it has trouble waddling anywhere. I tell my girlfriend that it makes me so mad that some asshole can't even properly care for this sweetheart and feed her appropriately and if this dog was a human it would be absolutely obese. I say this in an audible range but my girlfriend changes the topic because social confrontation is something she avoids whenever possible.  Several minutes later, the owner who apparently had heard me earlier mentions to me that her dog is overweight because she is a home visitation nurse and the patients tend to feed her scraps when she isn't looking. And while I am happy that this dog is provided a service to her patients, she is doing a huge disservice to her dog. So I tell her that she should tell her patients right off the bat to not feed him and she agrees with me. However, this ham finds it necessary to give me a sob story about how this dog was thrown out of a car at some point to somehow excuse her continued mistreatment of the dog. Since I actually give a shit about her dog, I ignore this bullshit and tell her that she should measure out exactly how much food the dog needs twice a day and tell everyone in contact with the dog to avoid feeding her. This is when the advanced lard induced stupidity begins. She tells me her son tried that for a few weeks and she didn't lose any weight so she thinks it is necessary to have her dogs thyroid checked. In my head I have completely lost it, however I remain polite because my girlfriend is glaring at me to not fupa punch this bitch. So I change the topic and I find out she is from Texas (which feels relevant to her stupidity somehow since I have never heard fatlogic like this in California). It really does make me so angry though, this dog is completely dependant on this lady for healthy and she has 100% dropped the ball. The reason my dog is healthy is because I feed him appropriately, tell my housemates not to feed him, and exercise him regularly. He would love to eat more but he won’t stop and I need to keep my little cuddlebuddy healthy. It’s not that hard to care for a dog. In the end, I can only be hopeful that she learned from this and will actually take steps to care for her dog, but I seriously doubt it for some reason. Sidenote:  My girlfriend has begun shitlording recently and calls fupa’s pufa’s by accident. She says it wrong almost every time but I must admit that it is kind of adorable. Hopefully she will blossom into a full shitlady since she already agrees with me silently on most of the stuff I say about this fat fucks.
