I ordered a Kong toy for my dog and my sister doesn't like it. [I Am Sad And Angry]

Ok, listen. I have a small jack russel terrier mix who is kind of chunky but not overweight in my opinion. She's around 13 pounds, is that overweight? My sister thinks so, I think she could lose a few pounds but she acts like she's 100 pounds. I got her a Kong toy because I heard they were good for keeping your dog busy and stimulating. I get it and am SO excited! I make a little mix of peanut butter, yogurt, banana and a few little bacon treats. I put it in the freezer and give it to her, and my sister YELLS At me saying that she was already fat and didn't need MORE treats. I defend myself saying it's like a tablespoon of something tasty to keep her busy, but I get yelled at more. And for some reason my dog finished it pretty fast so I got yelled at since it didn't 'keep her busy' as advertised. I mean DID I MAKE THE TOY? NO! I saw how it was advertised and BOUGHT IT THINKING IT WAS A GOOD IDEA! I am SO mad and crying, she makes it seem like I hate our dog and WANT her to get obese. Of course I don't!

Very sorry. Maybe your dog is fat i don't know. The thing to do is get exercise like walking and cut down on the food/treats. No one likes being denied not even the dog. I'm sure the Kong made her happy and that is important.

@curiosi We do walk her basically everyday, we don't really give her that many treats...but I guess added fat as a treat in her kong isn't a good idea. Maybe I'll try healthy snacks in her kong?

Aw. It'll be okay. Your sister just overreacted. You were trying to do something nice for the dog. Maybe puppy can use it with some other snack.

@SW-User Thank you. It sucks being so excited for something then having that excitement crushed. I bought it with my own money, waited weeks for it to come because I thought it would be a cute thing my dog would like and my family would think was cute, and instead I get called a bad owner for making my dog even fatter. I tried my best, I guess that wasn't enough.

Thanks for the kind words.
