This is Baxter. The Fattest Dog in the World.
When my mom bought him, they told her he was a miniature beagle. Something tells me that miniature beagle is code for "his daddy was a hippopotamus".
I keep telling Mom that he's going to explode if she doesn't stop feeding him so much. She says it's a thyroid condition that's the problem (as she's hand feeding him buttered toast).
I say it's because you just can't say "no" to this:
And live!

Stephanie,
My mother would appreciate your coming to Baxter's defense.
She saw the post and emailed me this morning, saying that he was, in fact, not fat... but, rather,
pleasantly plump. :)
C'mon. He was only supposed to weigh about fifteen pounds- fully grown. The last visit to the vet-- over FIFTY!!!
Three times your normal weight is not pleasant!
Oh well, she's a mom. That's what she does. I suppose if I weighed four hundred pounds I would want her to tell people I'm pleasant too. ;)
Awww, Sweet, how could one say *no* to that (expectant) face?
Come to think of it, I could attack people for chocolate. Does this mean I am getting senile too??
"his daddy was a hippopotamus".
There is more of this "hippopotamus/fill in the blank here" breed than you know. Turns out that hippos mate with cats also.
Fascinating study.
Adorable face! "bacon? just a little bacon? and cheese? Don't forget the cheese!"
Stephanie,
Another addiction. We're overrun with them. Addictions to TV shows, addictions to bloggin', now a cat addicted to crackers. I thought this affliction only affected parrots named Polly. Oh dear.
::Attacks Steph for her chocolate wrapped in a flakey baked crust, smothered with whipped cream, and topped with a cherry. In a most civilized, demure kind of way of course::: :P
::Sits next to Steph on the floor staring up at Sweet::
Hey. She stole our chocolate. Get her!
Michelle's post concerning Nihilism, Ayn Rand, and Neitzsche gets one comment. But her post about a fat dog gets 8 comments. Conclusion: [Censored-- You don't want to know what I concluded]. Check out http://www.treklens.com/gallery/North_America/United_States/photo22444.htm Now that is a FAT DOG.
You know, I have met Judge Baxter and I don't think he'd like to know we've all been discussing his weight problem. ;) Maybe we should talk to him about a visit to Dr. Phil's show. That man can do wonders...I bet he can even speak "dog!"
Mandy~ Oh no! I wouldn't dare let Dr. Phil get a hold of Baxter! That man's from Texas too. He might mistake Judge Bax for a holstein and try to bar-b-q him!
How much does he weight???
you think your dog is fat...well i have a 114 pound four year old pure-breed beagle!!! so what now! i win! you lose!
he will need to be shot with 2 bullets.
For those of you who happen to read this and wonder why someone would write such an insensitive comment about my dear sweet departed Baxter....
Anonymous is from Canada. They just don't know any better... bless their hearts.
