Oh, Bubba. (Picture: Deadline News)

Eating so much you need to lie down for a few days is a Christmas tradition.

So we relate to Bubba the Chi Apso, hard.

Nurseries and preschools should be more diverse 'to fight racism in young children'

On Christmas Eve, Bubba snuck into the kitchen and stole the entire Christmas turkey, which had been left on the kitchen counter.

She might have got away with it if she hadn’t suddenly collapsed, bloated and with a serious case of a food coma, on the floor, no longer able to move.


Oh, Bubba. We know your struggle.

According to her owners, Bubba left just a tiny scrap of the turkey breast for the family of three to enjoy, because she is very kind and considerate.

Thankfully, some relatives were able to bring over some extra turkey on the day.



One of Bubba’s owners, David, shared a photo of Bubba bloated and having a much-needed rest on Twitter, where it quickly racked up more than 9,000 retweets – plus plenty of tweets from people presently engaged in similar post-Christmas dinner bloated naps.

The family now plans to put Bubba on a special diet for the New Year.

We wish you luck, Bubba, from the depths of our five day food coma.
