Happy Sunday everyone, at least I hope it will be. I\u2019ve got to make an important decision and I could really do with some help. Our Mistress says that as I don\u2019t want to walk so much now I have a choice. I can either cut down on the size of my meals or I can change my food to something designed for less active dogs. I know that I\u2019m only five and still like to think of myself in terms of youth and vitality, but the truth is with my legs the way they are I\u2019m not keen to go for walks. I\u2019m happy to potter in the back garden where I can move about gently and stop when my legs are hurting, but it does mean I need to lose a little weight and I don\u2019t know what to do for the best. I agree that I\u2019d feel better if I lost some weight and one suggestion I had was that I could go swimming more often. The problem there is that Alfie needs that even more than I do and our Mistress says she just can\u2019t justify the cost of us both going every week. To be fair, I do like the fresh air so giving the swimming slot over to Alfie does make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know whether to try the food for the \u2018senior\u2019 dogs that is the one that Shadow has. I just think that maybe given I\u2019m still much younger there may be things I need that I wouldn\u2019t be getting. I\u2019d like to try lots of different types to see which I prefer, but it has to be wheat free and low fat, given I take after my mum in both allergies and a tendency to pancreatitis. What would you do? If I just cut down am I going to be all disappointed at how empty my bowl looks? Should I ask for a smaller bowl so it doesn\u2019t look so bad or do you think I couldn\u2019t dupe myself that easily? Is there a simple solution? Decisions can be so difficult to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, have a lovely Sunday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
