Dignity
Friday was the big day of the vet visit with Cleo, Linus, and Fynn. It was quite the nightmare, Friday the 13th living up to its reputation, and I was already exhausted when we arrived. In Cleo's case the vet of course mentioned that she is still too .... well nourished. Reducing her food even more is impossible because this would probably lead to a fatty liver which could be life threatening. The vet recommended that Cleo should simply move more, very funny. Instead of putting her kibbles into a bowl and placing it right in front of her nose, I'm now supposed to put the kibbles into different spots in the house and garden and make her move for every single one. This sounds like a good idea unless you have to deal with Cleo. The photo shows Cleo after I had just thrown a kibble onto the path behind her. She sat there, looked at me and obviously waited for me to bring it back. I guess it's not only a question of laziness but also of dignity. We will keep on trying but I suppose the one who will lose weight (and the sad remains of her dignity) is the human.
