"fat dog in a little coat"

moss the dog is fat. i knew that he was somewhat square but i had no idea that he is 20 lbs too big. i took him to the vet today because i was concerned with these swollen sides that he has. it turns out the diagnosis is "love handles" he weighs in at 100 lbs and is supposed to weigh 80!! so, the "diet" begins because WE CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER PET! i will not stand for it. my kids would have to go to grief counseling.
