DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Eli,” and I purchased a phenomenal white Labrador puppy, “Sasha,” two years in the past. I dwell with him and my future father-in-law, “Harry,” at his father’s home. Eli’s father is principally a man-child. Harry feeds Sasha desk scraps, and despite the fact that now we have requested him to cease, he doesn’t. He laughs and says the meals received’t harm her. I feel he’s being very disrespectful.
The further meals is making Sasha achieve weight. We are apprehensive about her well being, however Harry doesn’t care. We don’t have sufficient money to maneuver out but. Harry is home rather a lot throughout the day when my boyfriend and I are working. We pay all of Sasha’s vet and meals payments. I’m undecided what to do about this. I’d admire any recommendation you can provide me. — PET PROJECT IN NEW YORK
DEAR PET PROJECT: If attainable, begin asking associates or relations if they might be keen to have Sasha stick with them throughout the day whilst you and Eli are working. Obesity isn’t wholesome for canines or people, and no matter Harry’s motivation, he shouldn’t be stuffing your puppy after you’ve gotten requested him to not.
