Right, we're all guilty of going a bit overboard on food at Christmas time (personal favourite, pigs in blankets) but, according to Twitter user David Barrett, his dog took it to the next level.
I don't know how he managed it, or why he even tried, but after scoffing the whole turkey before the family could get a look in, David's chi apso Bubba collapsed and was unable to move.
Kind of like my nan... every Christmas.

David's tweets quickly went viral, racking up thousands of retweets and favourites.
Christmas wasn't totally ruined, though, as the owners managed to save the day by getting relatives to bring round a spare turkey.

David explained: "It was a turkey breast and mum cooked everything and sat it on the bottom tier of a two-tier table and put tin foil and a dish cloth over it.
"She just couldn't move. It was pretty big, a whole turkey breast.
"My aunt had two turkeys so we got one of hers."

They're also putting the dog on a diet. Poor pooch.
A much more cheerful festive canine story comes from Liam Beech, owner of 17 sausage dogs.
Seventeen! I mean, imagine the bills.
Liam decided to dress his dogs in their very own Christmas cardies in the run-up to the holiday season and pose his puppy possy for a photoshoot.
Buster, Daisy, Ziggy, Wallie, Zac, Bonnie, Saffie, Duke, Diamond, Ruby, Kizzy, Sammy, Kansy, Kiki, Lottie, Benji and Dudley (phew) were all on their best behaviour as they posed on his stairs.

He said: "I have done Christmas pictures of the dogs previously dressed up for Xmas on the sofa and thought I need to top them so thought I'd do it on the stairs this year.
"I thought that's a challenge, so I had to go one better to prove people wrong with the dogs all dressed up ready for Christmas and I thought it would be funny to see them all dressed up in their little outfits."
That said, it took a fair few attempts before he could get them all in the right position before capturing the perfect snap - that's a lot of doggos to get in one place, after all.
Liam added: "It took about 45 minutes to get the picture because when the dogs were dressed in their outfits they thought it was time to go walking and all went crazy running around the house.

"After a while on the stairs with their jumpers on they began to fall asleep so I had to work hard at keeping them awake and looking at the camera."
Worth it in the end, though.
