I even told the Burger King manger what happened at McDonalds. They gave my dog a free burger everytime we stopped in after that.
Given your dog probably licked his own a-hole without a problem, the McDonalds burger must have been really bad. LOL
Yes it is true that all dogs can lick their holes. Glad you shared that with us. BUT what does that have to do with him not liking the McDonalds Burger?

Investigators say Grinds lived with a man named Herman Thomas, who says he tried to take care of her the best he could. He has told them he tried repeatedly to get her up, but simply couldn't. No charges have been filed, but officials are looking into negligence issues.
I don't know, but I think this dude Herman Thomas should be charged with something. I bet she wasn't able to get her fat ass up to go buy the tons of food she needed to sustain her gargantuan size by her self. I bet Herman boy would make 10-15 trips a day to McDonalds to buy her big-macs, lard and butter.
Yes, let's toss personal responsibilty out the window.
This womans condition is her own responsibilty. From a moral standpoint, I dare say he should have been more proactive in getting her some assistance, and as you say, not been an enabler. But pressing charges on him would be assinine.
I don't mean charge the guy with murder, but charge him with the same thing thay would charge some one for feeding the bears in a park, or jaywalking or something...

What would be the point? Again, her condition was ultimately HER responsibility.
I believe the most disturbing part of this entire story is knowing that she became one with the couch. How anyone can let themselves get that morbidly obese is beyond me, not to mention festering in your own shit and piss for 6 years but I would certainly hope that Mr. Herman Thomas isn't held responsible for her and the 480lbs that took her life because after all, she is an adult capable of making her own decisions.
