my visit to the vet

Nice Lady took me to the vet today, who turned out to also be a Very Nice Lady. I weighed 46.5 pounds today. I've come a long way from the 28 pounds I weighed in October when I was eating dead pigeons off the Oakland sidewalks.

The vet said, no more grains in my diet. Now it's going to be home cooked meals, with lots of sardines added. Fish and chicken, eggs, sweet potatoes and greens and fish oil. And best of all, the vet said I should be eating 5-6 times a day because my tumors make it like I'm pregnant. I'm eating for two, my tumors then me. And she said I still don't weigh enough, so I need to eat lots more than I have been. I don't want to be sick, but I have to say, this seems like a very good deal for me.

Here I am taking a snooze in
my favorite sunny spot after
the visit to the vet.

    Sounds like a good plan to me, too. Diet can help a lot.

    5 to 6 meals a day made up for fish and chicken and sweet potatoes and greens? Sounds nice to me! I'm sorry you're eating for two, but the good news is that you are the one that gets to enjoy the actual eating part, which is lots of fun!
