my GAWD shes F-A-T... holy-great-aunt-hannah, poor dog, i think shes half-hippo
are U allowed to put her on a weight-loss diet?

honest, if i could, i would!
the easiest one i know of is the pumpkin-diet -
reduce her measured-meals by One-Fourth + substitute canned pumpkin-puree [plain] for the missing-fourth.
she gets the same-volume of food, so she does not feel starved - but she gets fewer calories.
the pumpkin is mostly insoluble-fiber, smells sweet but has few carbs.
the weight comes off the same way it went on - slow + steady.
i think she;s a Lab-cross;
the spots on her legs + tricolor markings look like any Foxhound or hound-type dog,
Harrier, whatever; shes blanketed with eye-spots + Irish-pattern markings.
her ears are hound-shaped, oval + pendant, with a slight-rise; her tail looks like a Pointer or Hound-type.
