Fatty Lumpy

Truly Scrumptious Lulu and Trotter are watching a program about the clinically obese.

Lulu looks at Trotters scrawny terrier body wistfully and wonders how he manages to stay so thin. After all, he gets through half a pound of mature chedder every day.

Trotter points out that he burns off the excess fat by chasing his tail, chasing the cats, barking at doors, attacking people leaving the house, savaging the furniture and rucking up the throws and humping them, when he gets a chance.

'Lets face it Lu', he tells the chubbiest dog in the west, 'All you do is sit there and growl at people or sleep, you can't burn off the calories doing that'

Lulu looks at him through slitted eyes, one lone tooth jutting upwards from her jaw. She'll show them she thinks, has no one wondered where she's been sneaking off to on a Sunday afternoon, Church? Pah! She'll leave those crazy christians alone thank you very much.

Truly Lu has been going to gym class, taking turns on the treadmill, then the bike. Her tums and bums classes start next week. She'll show Trotter, with his stupid muscular body.
