And you’ve put her between two major temptations — what were you thinking?

Overeating humans anonymous…….. you’ve stocked up on candy for Halloween, and then……..

I have a very strict rule: I only eat when I’m hungry…or bored, when I’m among friends or alone, in the car or in bed, when watching TV or clipping toenails…OK! OK! At least I never eat while sleeping… although scientists say there’s a lot of spiders and other bugs being engulfed by us while sleeping …well, but I think it doesn’t count if you’re not enjoying it, huh?

I don’t know anyone that eats pets. Let alone eating too many of them.

Let’s face it-cats have a will of their own. They’ll do whatever they want to do despite our best efforts.;-D

erm… kibbles and bits is a dog food as far as i know

… um… have you tried feeding them less?

Hi, Bleeb!

Poor goldfish….his bowl is so small, he has to jump out to turn around.

Often obedience-training, it’s the owner that needs the most training. Maybe this is more accurately: Over-eating Pet-enabler’s Anonymous

That fish looks just about ready to be fileted.

So tell us about your pets, Mr. Jon Arbuckle….

The part that is missing is showing that the humans look a lot like the pets!

Insert:(Dobie’s “on vacation” comments)

“Well, you know what they say… money can’t buy you happiness…

… but it can buy you donuts at the airport, and that’s pretty much the same thing.”

Sooooo….. donuts it is!”

1 cup of dry in the morning, half can of wet at night. Occasionally some chicken livers or chicken.

There is only one reason pets over eat and that’s because their humans overfeed them.

Look out, Bleeb! Dalcon’s sneaking up on you!

Overweight pets are a real problem. The methods listed are funny, though.

Try giving her the appropriate amount of food at breakfast and dinner, NO lunch!!!

That’ll get her to mouse hunting!!!!!

This kills me…there’s no such thing as over-eating pets. It’s over-feeding and under-playing owners.

I’m thinking it was the lasagna…

C"mon, this is America, ain’t it? Watching TV, one for you, two for me.

I feel so bad for the fat dogs we see at the dog park.

If you bring your pet, doesn’t that make them NOT anonymous?

It’s time to pond that fish.

I know a dog who could join! Looks just like his parents…

Reminds me of an early reader book from my childhood, “A Fish Out of Water.” :)

Hey, the Native Americans along with others nationalities love to eat dogs. Cats can be either fed to the dogs or put in the trash.

my vet once told me “feed them what you want…if there’s any left in ten minutes, you gave them too much”

I’ve noticed there are two Bleebs hiding in some of JM’s toons.
