A Thanksgiving Tip for pet owners. Courtesy of your local humane society:When giving pets treats you must consider the relative size of their body compared to yours. If you weigh 150 pounds and your dog weighs 25 pounds, she is only 1/6 of your total weight. If you visualize yourself as a whole pie, comparatively your dog is only one slice of pie. Consequently, sharing an unfinished plate that still holds a generous serving of mashed potatoes with gravy, a side of very rich dressing, a few bites of turkey and a small slice of pumpkin pie with your best friend can make her feel miserable. Rich and fatty foods like this can even lead to serious and painful pancreatitis!If only someone would put out the same bulletin for humans:When having that third helping of stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole you must consider the relative size of your stomach to the two plates full of pilgrim-inspired goodness you?ve already ingested. Consequently, the gravy you?re about to dump all over it could lead to some serious bloating, or at the very least delay your consumption of pumpkin pie.If you don?t already have a pet to overfeed and would like one, the Seattle/King County Humane Society (located in Bellevue) is open for adoption on Friday.
