Open Post: Hosted By Obie The Obese Dachshund
Nora Vanatta, a certified vet tech from Portland, OR, volunteered for the position of Jillian Michaels to the dogs when she took in a 70 pound, 5-year-old dachshund who looks like he swallowed two bags of oranges. Obie the Obese Dachshund was brought into the Oregon Dachshund Rescue after his elderly owners had their own health issues to deal with and could no longer take care of him. Obie ballooned to the size of one Nicki Minaj's thighs, because his former owners couldn't resist his big brown eyes and gave him scraps whenever he wanted them. And that's how your pet gets fat.
The average weight of a Doxie is half of what Obie weighs now, so Nora is working hard to trim over 40 pounds of chunk off his body. Nora tells Oregon Live (via HuffPo) that she put Obie on a special high-protein diet and has put him on a regular hydrotherapy regime. Obie is too fat to go for walks right now, but Nora hopes to put his triple stuffed sausage body on a treadmill as soon as he loses more weight. Obie the Hutt's weight-loss program is pretty costly, so Nora has set up a Facebook and PayPal page for donations.
Screw, Jessica Simpson! Weight Watchers should pay Obie $4 million to lose weight, because this is a weight-loss story we all REALLY care about.
And I can't believe I got through that without making one fat wiener joke.

BSF: Your decisions are your own, and I respect that. But you are expecting your husband to make decisions and respond to you when you are gaslighting his reality. My XH lied, denied, said I was the crazy one, until it came out that he had been having an affair. His retort? I should have known something was wrong.
*flipping of 1000 double-handed birds*
I am not a mindreader, nor is your husband. Please don't keep the mental scoreboard that he "should" act a certain way because if he did that would show he cared. You are keeping meaningful cards off the table and out of play. He cannot respond authentically if data is being withheld.
Having said that, you know your situation best. If you've decided to end it, then do it as quietly and honorably as you can. Just don't think that your secret will necessarily stay safe. These things have a way of working themselves to the surface and things will be MUCH worse for your sitch if he finds out from another source.
My XH was shocked beyond belief when his house of cards came crashing down. He thought all this time he had pulled one over on the kids, and as the remaining sane parent of young children, I never told them he left the family for a girlfriend. But when my 8-year old son recently said verbatim, "Daddy fell in love with (crack whore girlfriend's name) and left us," he realized he had not fooled even his children after all.
Your sins will find you out. Tread carefully.

Good for you for making a decision one way or the other and especially for not telling him about VP.
One thing that really really bothers me is to hear people say they want to tell their spouse about an affair because they want to be honest with them, which I could not disagree with more.
The reason people want to tell their spouse about an affair is for one reason and that's to unburden their guilty conscience. They dump their problem on their mates lap and ultimately want forgiveness from them to ease THEIR suffering. Ultimately it hurts the person being cheated on more. All it will do is make them have a trust issue with you so now you've hurt them twice. The other person does not need to know, it serves no purpose for them. I think it's something the one person should suck up have to deal with themselves.

BSF - I could see it coming... good for you... not for doing what you did, of course, but at least you are not going to continue to live a life looking your husband in the eyes knowing you were unfaithful, and he not have a fucking clue... good for you for putting everyone out of their misery and not prolonging the inevitable. Good luck.

Thanks. I needed to make a decision. I'm hurting really bad but I feel ok about. I think there's a light at the end of this tunnel.
BB it works really well but it's expensive, I remember reading onion juice (?) is just as effective (plus then you smell nice!)

You are so right. They would just gorge themselves if you let them. So many other dog owners just put the food down and their dog eats it whenever. I am still amazed at that. I've had red short hair mini's just about my entire life. I lost "my little man" Oscar 4 years ago. Yeah, dachshund lovers are a tad obsessed:)
poor thing! well, at least he's getting help now.
which is more than can be said for the rest of you! ;p
Janey, isn't it gorgeous out!?

I used it on a bad scar on my knee - definitely think it helped. Not 100% gone by any means, but MUCH less noticeable.
Poor doggie. Nice to see somebody is going to make him better.
I burned my arm on hot oven racks and it's leaving a scar even though I used triple antibiotic cream and bandage. Does know if that mederma scar cream works?
That's awful. But LOL @swallowed 2 bags of oranges. Get thin soon doxxy doggeh.

i hate stories like this. they make me so sad :( i couldn't even watch the video till the end.
the poor dog can't make more than three steps without taking a break. but he seems to be a good-natured dog, hopefully he'll lose the fat. he's only five, he could live for at least another 5 years.
BSF - I could see it coming... good for you... not for doing what you did, of course, but at least you are not going to continue to live a life looking your husband in the eyes knowing you were unfaithful, and he not have a fucking clue... good for you for putting everyone out of their misery and not prolonging the inevitable. Good luck.
PS - I hope you two can at least be civil around your daughter... I got caught up in the drama (yelling, fighting, etc.) going through my divorce with her mother and it really did emotional shit to my daughter. Do not talk bad about the other in front of the kid (especially if the other one is not there)... her mom did that and said horrible shit about me that wasn't true and my daughter RESENTS THE SHIT out of her for "making" her hate me for so many years. It has come full circle now, at 17, and it has bit her mom in the ass. I guess I'm trying to say, be polite to one another in front of your baby girl no matter how hard it is...

The last 5 years of my old catter's life I would take him in to get shaved twice a year because he couldn't groom himself well enough. He would get the "lion cut" where they leave hair on the neck feet and end of the tail. Garfield loved it after his shave... you could tell he thought he was hot shit. We called him Chupacabra after his shaves. I sure do miss that silly old cat. I say try it once and see how he acts... he may love it like Garfy did. Good luck.

"You're gonna be a grandma, bitch!"
Retards shouldnt breed and shouldnt own animals/pets. In a quite normal world, but who said this world of ours is normal? Anything but it....
Thanks to everybody for hearing me out the past few months. I've decided to stick a fork in my marriage. It's done. I want out.
I played hooky from work today. I couldn't will myself outta bed this morning. When I did get up, I felt dizzy. So much stress! So, I'm spending the day with my daughter...just hanging out. Working on a solo budget. Looking into divorce lawyers.
The spouse hasn't checked on me all day. VP did, though. I read the rest of the comments from yesterday's OP. I'm not telling the spouse about VP. He might try to use that against me or he might try to go after VP...he's got that latin temper and all. So, I'm keeping that to myself.
This is what my mom is doing to my Pomeranian. She feeds him all day, feeds him all the junk food she eats, then doesnt walk him. She wants him to be fat like her because she thinks he gets "too cocky and unaffectionate" when he loses weight. He was my dog that I bought before I went off to college so I left him with her and now he's her little fat mini-me of herself.
And she refuses to get another dog so he'll have a companion because she thinks he won't be nice to her anymore if he has a dog friend. So he's completely co-dependent on her and just lays there like a depressed lump when she's not around. I can't even walk him when I go to visit get because he only wants to be around her and he's too fat to exercise. Congratulations, mom! You ruined my Pomeranian!
I have a short haired red mini dachund. He would eat himself to death in one sitting if left alone with food. I feed him weight management dry dog food. He goobles it like he is starving. His mission in life is to hunt for stray food.........knock over trash cans, kids unsupervised candy, dropped crumbs, chocolate exlax(almost killed him),my coffee on the end table (super hyper wired for a day), tums, are just of the things he has found. He will literally eat anything. I never had to baby safe my home foe my children as much as I do for my doxie. He was sick the whole weekend because he found my daughters candy stash. It was u g l y.
To be fair, Obie's owners were elderly and likely suffering from a whole host of health problems themselves. They might not be mentally competent now (though they most likely were fine when they first started raising the dog). But didn't someone notice this and think to intervene? neighbors? friends? relatives?
Damnit. I hope the guy's OK :(

Hmmm he must use lots of Palmer's cocoa butter. Not a damn stretch mark anywhere to be seen.
Atta boy.
No people food for dogs! My mother fed our dauchshaund scraps and she got fat and hit by a cae dead! Now my sister loves her dog so much she's feeding him to death. So stupid.
Lemme guess the cause of his elderly owners' health problems...
A lotta dogs will just keep eating whatever you feed them. It takes remarkable control, but just don't feed 'em so damn much.

GG - no. Remember Chestica's dog got mauled by coyotes!! Or a mountain lion or sumpfin.
I've seen this happen to pets who's owners are oldies. They just keep putting more food down when the bowl gets empty... and as you are all aware, you don't stop eating as long as there is food in front of you.

Awwww, poor corpulent doggeh with such sad eyes. :o(
This is animal abuse through and through. I just do not understand how people are even capable of doing this to something they love. I'll bet their issues are obesity related too. If saw someone with an animal this fat I would have a talk with them in a second,if they flipped me off I'd find out where they lived and send the humane society on their asses.

"You're gonna be a grandma, bitch!"
Ugh...I couldn't watch the whole thing. What a precious little doggy :( How did the owners' relatives or friends not step in, if they were clearly not competent enough to care for him?
People suck. I'll donate to the Save Obie fund.
