Hmmm...so you have almost 400 lbs of dogs at your house! I bet it costs more to feed your pups than it does to feed my horse .
BTW, I'm glad you gave him a cheeseburger for his post vet snack! I bet he really enjoyed it.
I laughed at this.
Several years ago we had 3 dogs - more than 250 pounds between the three of them, so not huge, but we certainly didn't have tiny ankle biters! Anyway, I went to the commissary for my once-every-couple-months dog food run. DH was deployed so it was just me and I found it much easier to get all my dog food at one time but at a seperate time than I got groceries. So, I go through the check out with about 240 pounds of Purina ONE and a gallon of milk. The cashier asked if I had big dogs. I looked straight at her and said I had a chiuahua, fully expecting her to giggle. She didn't - she stammered a little bit and refused to look me in the eye after that.
Well... she apparently believed me, because the next time I was in the commissary, a couple of the cashiers and the manager decided to stage an intervention and let me know that I if I was struggling with my DH deployed (I wasn't - we actually made significanly MORE money!) that they would help me find an organization or maybe get food stamps. One even offered to help me go over my budget and find a way to free up more money for people food. After I figured out what they were talking about and then stopped laughing I told them it was a joke, only apparently I didn't tell it well enough since the cashier actually believed me! I thanked them for their concern - and they did seem truly concerned! - but assured them that I was just fine.
