They did nothing and was tired!

My parents are the ones that feed it. And by now everyone, even the people on my threads should know by now that they won't listen!

Maybe try telling them that it could cause problems or you can take over your dogs' feeding schedules. Why would they overfeed if it costs more and also has a negative effect on the dog?
Perhaps you can show them this:

I don't own either of the dogs in my home. I still got them back to the proper weight after my parents made them overweight.

He's been like this since he was a baby, 4 weeks old to be sure.

My parents won't let me do much with them

@Overo Mare , She's doing it again.

Good grief. Someone needs more walkies and less food. So so bad for a Dachshund/mix to be overweight with that long back and short legs. More so than most other breeds.

It's not my fault!

We know Mutchi. I'm not saying it is.

Now you have some good advice on ways to handle the situation though. Try to take charge of feeding and exercising. Most parents would be proud to let their children care for their pets. My 6 year old is in charge of feeding the ducks and chickens and gathering eggs. She feeds twice a day.

You can do that with your dog and pig. Tell your parents you want more responsibility with them. Smaller portions, twice a day, more exercise.

What's their reasoning? My parents are more than happy to get work off their hands...

 

[chickentrains]

it would be so much cheaper to stop feeding your little dogs who need barley any food more than double what they need

They barely eat but when they do, it's a bowl each witch is 2 cups each.

Oh right I forgot to mention they eat through out the day, so they eat two cups a day, not each meal. They chose to eat, and normally eat at night, they seem embarrassed to eat in front of people! Lol
