A Lab mix named Elinor, she's another post entirely, and Neville- my Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
My Neville is the cutest thing in the world and he is the perfect dog in every way except one: he gains weight FAST. It's like I blink and he doubles in size. Something you have to understand about corgi's is that they get to a certain age and then pack on the weight like little champions.
Like every true pet lover I call him cute little names. Mine happen to be food related and I took pains to describe his growing bulk in the past year or so through edible creativity.
He started off as a twinkie, being roughly the same shape and color as the cakey pastry:
This is his first puppy picture. God, he's so freaking precious. |
I had to call him a muffin a year later because of his expanding girth:
He had to grow into the ears...they came that size. |
And finally I had to break down and call the little chow fiend a pound cake:
This is Neville at 30 lbs. I swear we ration his food reasonably, but it doesn't help. |
I don't know what I'll do for gastronomical metaphors if he gains more weight. Anyone have any ideas? How bout half sheet? Like a half sheet cake?
This is what Neville thinks of that idea:
"Oh Hell No!" |
