I\u2019m Wilma and I\u2019ve developed an apple obsession. I know dogs who are obsessed by balls and have a very unhealthy relationship with them. A ball can wear down your teeth and leave you totally frenzied. An apple is an entirely different matter. It has the same satisfying round shape that fits nicely in the mouth. It means you can run off with it and have it almost hidden while you do it. And then there are the health benefits. As they say, an apple a day keeps the veterinary away. Just think how much better several apples a day must be. Frankly, if Shadow\u2019s farting is anything to go by, they\u2019ll keep everyone away, never mind the vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Mum was mowing the lawn Dad was watching me. I\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m shameless in my obsessive tendencies. Even though I knew he was counting how many I had, it didn\u2019t stop me. He asked Mum if she knew what I was doing. She just shrugged. She thinks she could stop feeding me altogether and I\u2019d still scavenge enough food to be fat. What can I say? When I knew I wasn\u2019t going to need to attract a mate, I stopped worrying about my waistline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aristotle is being more moderate in the number he eats. He says he doesn\u2019t like the bloated feeling when he\u2019s overeaten. To be fair, he does have a more delicate stomach, so he might be right to limit himself. On the bright side it does mean there are more for me. Mind you, I don\u2019t think I could possibly eat all the fallen apples before they go rotten. I\u2019m doing my best though. Sometimes a girl just has to give in to temptation \u2013 it\u2019s just the way it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
