While that may be true, it's not always the case. Having dealt with various animal rescues, rehabs & fostering (as well as using a "life of the dog" type trainer & rehabber for my own doggos, where we meet up & socialize our barky friends with others, do agility training & other fun doggo things), I've seen HUMONGOUSLY overweight dogs come from all sorts of owners/homes. One notoriously lard-ge cocker-shit (or whatever silly combo of little & medium dog breeds you'd like to use to imagine said doggo will work) was given up by a life coach/fitness trainer & her OH so busy family was so absolutely physically ruined that it's stomach dragged on the floor & had open sores from friction on its belly. The family had lost interest in the little fella. He rarely got to enjoy life outside of a too small crate, was fed leftovers & had raging diabetes that wasn't treated. (Fear not, gentle people; said doggo was adopted by a new family, had a reversal of diabetes & a tummy tuck & is now a thriving, happy & not fat good boy.) We also have seen much too fat doggos & kitties from elderly owners who tend to overfeed & not exercise/play with their pets.Fat people end up with fat dogs because they don't spend enough time walking/running/playing with them. It's a known issue, any vet will tell you when they see a fat dog, it belongs to an overweight/lazy owner.
With all of this being said; there's no way I'd support either of the Slatons taking on another pet. My ass is still chapped with how Amy took on that abused German Shepherd & did nothing to help rehabilitate it but fed into its instability & fear & when it bit her after a stressful situation, she dumped it into a high-kill shelter where it was undoubtedly given the needle o' death. Tammy can't move to care for herself, so how in blue blazes is she going to care for a puppy? I fear for any living thing that crosses the Slaton Sisters path.
