"Devos, you're getting a big, uhh... Big." my owner said to me nervously.
"Big? Nawww..." I said.
"You can't even stand any more, can you?"
I huffed in indignance, before shfiting my weight around. Just had to get the flab from out under my paws... And... Phew, there we go! Four on the floor.
"See, I CAN still stand. Shows you."

"UUURRRRRPPP" I belched as my owner approached with today's tub of food.
"So, remember when you said you could still stand...?"
Oh, this again. I sighed, and wiggled my paws. Try as I might, I could only feel more of myself with them.
"Standing was overrated anyways."
