Mom’s Back on That “Diet” kick Again…

DARN! Mom’s back on that “Diet” kick again! She kept wondering why I wasn’t losing weight and seemed to be gaining it, and she started paying closer attention (SPYING on me!) and caught me sneaking some of the pup’s food.

Dott, especially,

tends to leave some of hers… especially if someone forgets to put her shredded cheese or some other goody on top. NOW, Mom is putting down the food bowls, WATCHING us eat, and if we don’t eat right away, she PICKS THEM BACK UP (said in a wailing tone) and puts them away!

And she doesn’t give ME nearly enough to feed a rodent!!! (Note from Mom: Aren’t you laying it on a bit thick, OC?) Ok… So she does give me carrots, a slice of yam, or some roasted chicken breast jerky as snacks in between those two TINY drops of food she feeds me in the morning and evening.
