Shadow was having an off day yesterday. She was cheered up hearing from some of her children for mother\u2019s day, but apart from that she struggled. She said she\u2019d been feeling very confused and was quite clingy to Mum as a result. She was off her food too. We\u2019re hoping that she\u2019ll bounce back to normal today, but Mum is definitely keeping a very close eye on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I\u2019m overweight. Mum has tried and tried to get me to lose some, but I don\u2019t help matters at all. In theory I\u2019m on a very strict low fat diet. In practice, I also help myself to anything I can find. I barge Aristotle out of the way to get his food and Mum has to guard Shadow\u2019s bowl so I don\u2019t have that. I go around the garden finding anything edible \u2013 and I do mean anything. If Mum isn\u2019t looking I have my nose into her plate. I\u2019m just not good at dieting. Mum totally despairs of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only answer is for Mum to get over all her covid fears again and take me for long walks every day. Then we can both eat more without it being a problem. When Dad comes home on Friday he\u2019s going to help Mum to try to overcome how she feels. It\u2019s hard here as people just don\u2019t respect your space and they don\u2019t wear masks. Mum has retreated into the safety of home again and it probably isn\u2019t good for either of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only thing for it is to go to Switzerland so I can spend a lot of time walking in our favourite place. I want to see Mama too, so it really would be a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
