A Dog's Tale

There was a fat dog from Rhyl
That found it hard climbing a hill
He swore to eat less
But his life was a mess
When Weight Watchers sent the bill.

LOL! I really liked this one! The poor dog should have enrolled with Lucille Robert's. Her yearly "weight plan program" is much cheaper. LOL! Fun limerick. Congrats on your WIN in Deborah's contest. Best wishes, KC
