The newest member of our family is Karma, a sweet, fat, three year old Beagle in desperate need of a new home. I couldn't have named her better if I'd done it myself. How fitting is it that we rescue a dog named Karma? It certainly couldn't hurt right? ;0)
I don't know what it is about us and overweight animals, but Karma is as large in circumference as she is in length and must weigh every bit as much as DJ or Drake, whom are within 3 pounds of one another. (Drake, the baby, being the heavier of the two! LOL!)
So far our fat cat, Jay Jay, is less than pleased to have Karma in the family. He is probably worried that his fat butt is going to be required to share his food with her and let's face it... looking at Karma, that'd be a scary thought for any animal, let alone an overweight cat that has unhappily but grudgingly accepted the fact that he himself must diet... something that he has had much success at! Now if only we can figure out how to rid him of that FUPA... you know... the excess skin that he has under his tummy because it was all stretched out due to being overweight. I'll be damned if my cat gets a tummy tuck before I do!
In retrospect it may have been wiser for me to allow Jay Jay to keep some of his weight as a matter of convenience. It used to be that the baby gates were as effective a method of keeping him out of the kitchen and other areas of the house as they were the babies.... well.... No longer! Our fat cat has lost enough weight that not only is he able to get his front paws off of the ground without breaking a sweat, but now his back legs actually follow! Although he nearly rips the gate down altogether when his FUPA gets caught, he is now able to leap the gate in a single-ish bound! *Sigh*
Back to the subject at hand... Karma. I know that she will be a wonderful addition to our family once our surly, overweight, deaf cat decides that he will allow her to leave the kitchen. Until then, I suppose Karma's diet will have to wait as I can't risk her prematurely gaining the ability to leap over the gate just to have her eyes scratched out by a miffed fluff ball with diet-related anger issues!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
Karma
Jay Jay
Drake & Jay Jay... You decide who's bigger!
(It's hard to believe he's lost a TON of weight too... Jay Jay that is.)
