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.
We compost all the apples mixed with other green waste from the farm, rotovate it biweekly, then after about 3 months give it to farmers or nurseries. Its really awesome stuff, like Miracle Grow only organic.

"Actually, I wish they still had Percoset on the market - dammit."
Unless they recently got rid of it, I had some about 8 months ago, both in the hospital and at home after gall bladder surgery
and btw, I'm a barfer and even ibuprofen will get to me. Perc and Vicodin give me headaches, dizziness, and extreme nausea.Oh and constipation :p
Something that does not make me feel shitty is darvocet, I need more of it to do the same thing but I don't feel horrible from it.
you might want to ask about that.
also when I was pregnant there is a suppository I could take that gave instant barf relief, you shove it up your butt and in less than 5 minutes it's stopped you barfing and taken the nausea away.
There's paypal links to cover the "pretty costly" expense associated with the dog's weight-loss...
It's not like he's getting fucking liposuction.
How much does it cost to throw a dachshund in a pool a few times a day?
within they need to leave those swimmers ALONE! lol poor hot guys. they cant seem to do anything right.

Heck yes, I remember the outfit. Sounds like a really posh evening, ahahahah The food wow! So you got to hobnob with the bigwigs in a secluded section, woooooo! Well worth getting fancied up Loops. We know you'd rather be in the crowd with the meat pies but how fun to change it up! lol ;p

I hope they don't drag this dog all over and kill it like they did with that poor fat cat. How people can just drop their pet off when they are too lazy and or dumb to care for it is beyond me. Craigslist is full of assholes who are moving, or having a baby, or some other dumb reason and just dump their pet off with anyone who will take it. Pisses me off.
This has to be more than obesity. Tumors perhaps?? Feel for him and wish him the best.

estee logger, of course not--a dog's not going to survive let alone thrive on that! LOL! I can see where you might have gotten that impression, however.
When a dog has been overfed consistently, they get accustomed to the sensation of having a full gut when they've finished the meal, and many of them will revert to unwanted behaviors such as stool eating, trash-can raiding, counter surfing and flat out food stealing in order to sate their hunger. Plain, puffed brown rice cereal can be substituted for the portion of dog food you're eliminating. If the dog had been getting 6 cups of dog food per meal, replacing one cup of the dog food with the puffed rice eliminates a significant number of calories--so the dog has the same sensation of a full belly. It's also useful to help keep a dog's weight under control if they have a tendency to gain easily, as is sometimes the case with females after they've been spayed. One of my Shepherds was always easy to keep at her perfect weight on 2 cups of a high quality dry food twice a day, until I had her spayed at 8 years of age; from there on, if she was fed more than 3/4 cup of the same food twice daily, she'd pack on pounds--so for each meal she got the 3/4 cup of dog food mixed with a cup of rice puffs and warm water, twice daily, and maintained a healthy weight right up to the day I lost her at 14 1/2 years of age.

foxxy, tim gunn's book is interesting, i think ill buy it later this year and read it too.
Stop feeding the dog too much and he'll lose weight. Treadmill??? Simply walking the dog will work.
Loopy, even mud knows you are da' man! <3 i just put Mr. Gunn's newly published book in my amazon shopping cart
nice one, ESE! one of my best uses of 4:48 in a long time!! i forgot about this little supergroup - and the song
"Voodoo is forgetting who's the john and who's the whore." MK, 3/20/12
within, i had good fun.
its not normally how i go to the football, because usually im in the crowd, swearing "FKING KICK THE BALL YOU SHIT HEAD!!" and stuff like that.
but this time i was invited to the private members club. and anybody who is from england will tell you the cricket club, like the All Englands club, are the biggest TOFFS. like they wear cravats, and pocket squares and things lol
so i thought oh hells, i better kit up. i showed you ma outfit remember? lol
the members club is a different way to watch sports, like you are segregated into the board members, committee members, corporate sponsors and their guest section only, and you have a three course meal, followed by scones with clotted cream and jam, finger cut sandwiches, mini danish pastries, cheesecakes in the intermission ... lol it was really over the top.
whereas normally, i go to the football, we just have beer and meat pies or french fries.
ESE, you gotta stop doing that ahahahaha 1 minute before or 1 minute after, never fails! hahahahaha *waves back*

lol estee & foxxxy
I can swear like a sailor instead, and just throw bleep bleep on everything. :P
but that wouldn't bode well with my gentleman comb hair lolll
speaking of fashion, tim gunn! i had awesome fun at the football match the other night in the members club, my friends were jokingly asking me if i was going to a polo match or croquet... i was like "well 1. its spring. 2. this is a cricket's club, and if you are gonna turn up to the cricket's club where melbourne's toffs hang out, you should out-dress them" i didnt even get mud on my white chinos, and it was quite muddy.
Shame on those pet owners! That poor dog has no business being that FAT!
@ Foxxy,
Well! Apparently somebody here pays someone else to pick boogers out their nose. Excuse me!

You can't be pregnant. That rape was legitimate.
Foxxy, SAY WHAT? I can picture Miley's publicist releasing that tidbit... Still, to be working that long, she must have her regulars, right?!
You've not had a good week? Well glad you dropped by to unwind! At least we're almost halfway through it! :)

He's just retaining a little water. Yeesh. :)
The best advice I ever got concerning watering is stick your finger into the ground to the first or second knuckle. If it feels moist, no need to water. For most plants a good soaking every 4 days or so is fine depending on the weather.

I'm just doing a drive by reading here. I went through a few pages in OP today and I just want extend big hugs to those dealing with tough times right now.
I wish I could help out in some way but all I can do is sprinkle some virtual fairy dust laced with good vibes.
Take care everyone! xoxo
LOL Foxxy, can't care what Miley does... but an 82 year-old stripper? That must be something! How you doing Foxxy, hope the day went well! ;p

RandéS, hehehe no, I have never seen a dog so obese it makes me sad! I hope it wasn't kept indoors all the time and fed and fed and fed for amusement. The story about the elderly owners doesn't make sense... :(

Make it work people!
It's possible that the elderly owners weren't overfeeding Obie. He may have just been gnawing off parts of their legs and they didn't notice it.
estee -- both. and, yes, the loopygorilla is both throwback AND fashion forward! Loopy mentored Tim Gunn -- fact. ;-)
Hi, Loopy!
"Voodoo is forgetting who's the john and who's the whore." MK, 3/20/12
Foxxy......what are you trying to grow; veggies or flowers or both?
Loopy seems to be a throwback to a earlier time of wit and sophistication with just enough of a devilish streak. He reminds me of an actor from the 30s and 40s. Wish i could remember his name.

awww that poor dog. some pet owners should be slapped with a cold fish for letting their pets get that fat.
for every 1kilogram your pet is overweight its equivalent to 6kilograms on a dog.
@ estee -- i spent most of the summer using fish emulsion and compost; my downfall was months of overwatering ;-( new gardener(this is my 2nd full summer); clay clay clay soil. i spent a fortune in soil amender last season, fertilizer this season. in hindsight, i now know that a $7.95 water/pH/light meter is what would have made the difference this year. i have overwatered for months, months
@ within -- i'm hangin' in, thanks for asking. business related stress (my own problem, not clients', which is diverting time from me dealing w/clients' problems). not much sleep this week...
how you doin'? i tried to read thru the debauchery in last night's OP but was too distracted. also sorry i missed Professor Loopy's seminar on "Hamm and Eggs: Presentation Makes The Plate" a couple of nights ago. that was one of the best reads EVER!!! lmao

ITA P.T.Bull, doggy needs a little more exercising and a little less eating and that happy tail will keep wagging even more! ;)
@CSG, hi there! Poor little legs though and look how it huffs and puffs. The previous owners were not just giving him snacks, they were giving it enough food for 5 dogs at least!

Expensive weight loss program for a dog? Its not rocket science lady. Just give it one bowl of food a day and let nature take its course.
That puppeh is cute but he looks like a walrus. I'll bet his elderly owners had memory problems and couldn't remember if they had already fed him, so they would feed him again just to be on the safe side (I've done that with my dog, sad to say).

Hi ya Foxxy:
Horse apples and cow pies. How about an apple pie?!
Its all good stuff! Your plants will love you.
We compost all the apples mixed with other green waste from the farm, rotovate it biweekly, then after about 3 months give it to farmers or nurseries. Its really awesome stuff, like Miracle Grow only organic.
Hi Within, Esteem, Estee and the rest of the night shift!
estee -- i forgot about "apples," lol. curious -- do the apples have same fertilizing properties as cow "pies?" on GG's advice, i applied dried cow pie to garden about 10 days ago. SO so wish i had started with it before now...

Shit like this makes me violently angry. It wouldn't be all cute and funny if it were a human kid that got overstuffed by stupid and negligent parents, everyone would be all "that's child abuse, childhood obesity is such an epidemic, irresponsible parents, blah blah blah" But when it's an animal we're just expected to give an "Oh my!" and giggle at it.
I feed my two cats twice a day, morning and night. No dry food to nosh on continuously. And you know what, I love them to death. I would do anything to help them, to keep them from feeling pain, whatever. And because I love them, I really want to take care of them and not let them get some fat-related disease like diabetes.
Sorry if the first bit sounds like something someone else already said, I just got home and there's already 300+ comments and I'm not reading them all.
