<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Let me just say right off the bat that I know the title of my post probably made you laugh. Dogs LOVE food and are usually insatiable.. But let me explain the situation.

My boyfriend and I have been living together for 2 years and have a 6-year-old female Pomeranian named Yoshi. Yoshi is my boyfriends dog, as he adopted her and pays for food. Yoshi used to live with my boyfriend's mother for 4 years until he moved out. This is how the problem started.

His mother would feed Yoshi table scraps every day, and let her explore the kitchen to eat food she dropped while cooking. After her first 4 years, Yoshi tipped the scale at a whopping 19 lbs. Although she is a medium sized Pomeranian, she should only weigh 13 lbs. at most. 

Now that Yoshi lives with us, she begs ALL the time for food, and tries to invade the kitchen when I'm cooking. If you have food, she'll be next to you no matter what. When I am done cooking, she scavenges the kitchen for scraps. She also scavenges the backyard and eats animal feces and God knows what else.

We can NOT train this out of her. We have been trying to reduce her amount of food and now feed her smaller amounts twice a day. It doesn't seem to be working because she is NOT losing weight and she scarfs her food within 5 minutes of me giving it to her. I take her on walks when I have time, about 3 times a week.

Yoshi also drinks A TON of water, which may be a sign of diabetes, or so says my boyfriend's over-nurturing mother.

I really wish we could have pressed restart on Yoshi and raised her ourselves. Can someone please give me some advice on how we can help her to lose weight? I don't want years taken off her life because she was overfed.

Please help! :(
