She barely ate any lunch. And sure enough. She had an acid spit. And as I’m looking for the other, “Betty, where’s the other spit? I know these come in pairs. Oh never mind. I found it. I just stepped in it.” 🤦🏼‍♂️😹 She pooped a third leg. I didn’t even have to pick that one apart to know there...

At two pm, I pulled the covers back from the blanket nest she was in since 10am and said, “don’t give me hungry mouth. Go eat something!” I spooned a little off her plate and onto a mini tray and served it to her in bed. It was just a few bites. But I think that probably held off an acid barf...

10.28 vs last week’s 10.38 and the 10.6 reading the week before. Still losing weight. But not as quickly. I was seriously nervous that she would drop below 10 lbs this week. If we can stabilize here, I’d be overjoyed. Even if she still has a little more weight to lose. I say it again and...

I think my Garfield has Seasonal Affective Disorder. When it’s gray, she wants to sleep all day. I mean she already wants to sleep all day. But she doesn’t eat well when the sun doesn’t come out. Still. Half lunch remainder is better than whole lunch remainder. Tonight through she’s lagging. It...

Well that was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I got my flight changed in just a few clicks. For the hotel and the car, I had to call the Southwest Rewards number. Cue aspy anxiety about having to talk to customer service. After a few messages to the effect of, "this is for Southwest...

Didn’t even need the ground rabbit treat to get her to finish lunch. I told her that if we ever get a case that looks like that again, I’ll drive around town looking for another rather than forcing her to finish it.

I didn't let Krista chew cat grass after I realized she was only doing it to bring stuff up. Instead, I put on the detective hat looking for ways to reduce that urge to purge in the first place. As for treats after the very last dental visit she would ever need (she had an awful time with...

Oh that case is gone. It really shows the difference between cats’ tastes and my own. I thought the case looked good because it was juicy and the meat looked distinct and there was very little rice. But Betty likes a thicker stew and I guess she likes the rice because I never pick up uneaten...

That seems to have done it. She finished second dinner before midnight. It was like a preview of what we’re going to do before her dentist appointment. By 2 am, she was back in bed with me trying to butter me up. By 3 am, she was getting feisty. By 4am, she was getting pushy and noisy. I gave in...

I just plated second dinner and she eagerly (as eagerly as this Eeyore moves) and willingly smoked through 2/3 of it on first pass. I have no worries that the plate will be clean by morning. I feel bad now about this last icky case. I should have remembered why I was avoiding it. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Maybe...

And we made it through that case. I seem to remember her not being all that crazy about this case the last time we had one like it. I buy my cases two at a time. One weekend, the cases were shrinkwrapped a little differently. I was told their distributor told them they had to get cases from a...

I have used Care.com and had a strange sitter who indirectly helped me clarify how to find a better one. She wasn't bad as much as she did enough weird little things that told me not to hire her again. The first thing I did after the strange one was that I downloaded a pet sitter checklist off...

Grrrr! FedEx says they made a delivery attempt on the Loop. But I feel like they are lying to me. It's not like I haven't been home. So I've taken their lazy lying drivers out of the picture and redirected it to a pickup location like I should have done in the first place. I forgot how much...

I actually have Betty’s food dish at the foot of the bed so that I can more easily track her progress through the night, and so she doesn’t have far to go when she finally decides to stop doing hungry mouth 😋 and go take care of it already. 🐷👍 I caved and gave her some ground rabbit treat on...

She took her meds like a pro tonight. She wasn't going to let this morning's open capsule stop her from her twice daily cake frosting allotment. I don't give her starter strips on second dinner or lunch anymore. I don't have tempt her to eat second dinner. She's a late night eater. But as long...

I hope this doesn’t come back to bite me like the failed Greenies adventure. But I ground up one of her rabbit treats and sprinkled it over her lunch. And boom! First lunch finished in, well, I can’t remember the last time she finished a lunch. 😋👍

This morning she bit open the gabapentin and I don't know how much she got vs. the carpet. I do know that she was pretty much done taking capsules after that. I tried a couple of times to get the SB into her but she wasn't even interested in trying to lick the A/D off it. I sure hope this isn't...

I have space. I have more space now that I've decided to not to put the tombstone cutout back on the wall. I can probably do another two rows of those Shutterfly tiles. Or I can pick a larger size. Not really thinking about it right now as I have to move around flights and possibly get Betty...

Well shoot! She was starting to show signs of rallying with smaller remainders on second dinner and breakfast. But then she slept and slept and slept this afternoon. When she finally woke at 3:30, she had a couple of unproductive spits. Looked like maybe stomach acid. No food or hair. Now I'm...

A different can of A/D seems to have helped with the pilling last night and this morning. Seems the one we were using was either too lickable or not scrumptious enough. Because Betty was licking the capsules clean and leaving them behind. The new can seems fattier which, in cat terms, I imagine...
