Now she\u2019s tried this before and I wasn\u2019t impressed then and I don\u2019t suppose I\u2019m going to be impressed now. Our Mistress is moving me onto \u2018senior\u2019 dog food. I\u2019d have liked to think that the term \u2018senior\u2019 was a mark of respect, but regrettably it\u2019s just the nice way of saying I\u2019m past it, whatever \u2018it\u2019 was! This time Shadow is going onto senior food with me so that we can console each other. Oh, yes, I\u2019m sure it\u2019s got lots of extra things in it that are good for my joints but I resent the description of being \u2018less active\u2019. I was never that active in the first place so it would be difficult to be much less active. Apparently it also contains something that will help me lose fat! Now, just correct me if I\u2019m wrong but it that part is so effective then there\u2019d be a fair few humans eating it by now. Ok, so I have managed to lose a kilogram while on the \u2018light\u2019 food I was eating up but I\u2019ve also been perpetually hungry and tried demanding meals at all hours of the day and night. I\u2019m not taking this lying down\u2026 ok, I might be lying down but I won\u2019t take it quietly. Last time our Mistress tried this I started raiding the bin in protest and I\u2019m not above a bit of protest bin raiding just because I\u2019m three and a half years older. Sometimes it\u2019s important to fight for what you need and I need food! Good old high protein, energy giving, fattening food. With having lost some weight you can see just how bad the lump on my shoulder is and I don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t suppose I\u2019m going to get a lot of support out of Shadow. She\u2019s never been that food driven and besides she\u2019s been saying she wants to improve her waistline in time for Crufts. That\u2019s girls for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
