Tone annoyed with DH keep feeding our dog people food

He’s driving me mad. He just doesn’t listen! We have a 4 year old Staffy. He’s starting to look a bit porky to me. DH has just given him 3 fried eggs! He feeds him fatty meat off his plate, biscuits cakes etc. He feels mean not sharing with the dog! We’ve had countless rows about it. Sometimes he says “yeah, you’re right” and stops for a few days then starts again. He’s just mumbling under his breath now. How do I get him to stop!!? I keep telling him any extra weight will put a strain on the dogs heart. If he wants to treat the dog he can give him boiled chicken. All the fatty stuff upsets the dogs stomach. DH knows this but still won’t stop! I’ve gone as far as to tell him he’s cruel. Still not listening. I outed him to the vet last time we were there. He got a bit of a lecture off the vet and even that’s not stopping him

If this is real, your DH is fucking moron.

DH is a feeder too. I have to slap the food out of his hand. And yes, lean chicken etc. is great but he wants to give him the fat. Even mine would give one egg not three though. That's just weird.

I'm sorry, I've only gone by your title and it cracked me up. I couldn't say either way.

Actually I'll edit that as 'food' didn't show on the main page.

I thought he was feeding your dog human.

Yep. He loves the dog more than anything in the world (including me) so I can’t understand why he can’t get this!
