Sorry but I am just going to have a rant to let off steam.   My dad is driving me mad.  I keep telling him please don't feed the
dogs in the day.  Gypsy and Taff are both on the more portly side (FAT) and even though Cree is quite a thin girl
she has a problem with her digestive system so anything different from her burns that she has recently started being fed gives
her the runs.  My dad thinks he is being kind by giving them 'little treats' in the day, today I caught him giving the dogs the left overs
from the Sunday dinner.  Also when I am at work I know he slips them bits of food because apparently 'Cree likes porridge' or
sometimes I come home to him saying things like 'there was some cake left and was due to go off so I gave it to the dogs'. :(
I know this sounds stupid, and again I'm sorry for ranting but I keep telling him not to do it but I may as well be talking to myself.
Also he thinks that they all should be fed the same amounts of food !!  Taff is a border terrier, Gypsy is about the size of a
collie and Cree is a GSD.  How does he work out they should all be fed the same !! :(
AHHH there goes the steam letting off HHHIiiiisssss.
Sorry about that - feeling a bit better now.

Arrr! dont be to harsh on him at least he loves them, and you still have your Dad :-) i lost mine last year
:-(

How about suggesting your Dad puts all the leftovers in a dish so that they can be added to their evening meal?  this way you can monitor what and the amount they have.

Or alternatively change them to being fed in the morning, so that his treats can be shared out then, and you can still make the adjustments.

My Dad is just the same when he comes round, thankfully not to often.

He looked after my oldest two a few years back and it took me six months to get off the weight they put on itn two weeks.

I had a complete stranger give Angel chocolate the other day!! So at least what your Dad is giving them isn't poisonous!!
