Age has it’s privileges – I got tired of the same old kidney diet, the bland, smell-less stuff Mom’s been giving me for months – even the Pill Pockets weren’t tempting any more – Last week Mom got really scared when I was eating less and less… Well, you figure I don’t do much but lay around and nap and I am a good 18 pounds (fighting weight for a typical Lakie!) so I could afford to be picky – I just didn’t have any other way to tell Mom to perk up the grub. Gotta give her credit, tho, she figured out that baby food might do the trick – if it’s good enough for babies it’s good enough for me! I’m lovin’ it – don’t have to chew too much – tastes like stew – I know Mom’s crushing up all my meds and mixin’ them in but I can’t taste ‘em – We went to the vet on Saturday – that’s how scared Mom was – Dr. Nancy checked me out – said my heart & lungs sounded OK, no change, said baby food was fine & they’d do blood work on Monday when I see Dr. Donna, my chiropractor. I could tell Mom was VERY happy – We stopped at the market and she got a big bag of Gerber stuff (oatmeal with bananas is YUMMY!) and when we got home we shared an toasted English muffin – we both like those! Then I hung out in the backyard with Paddles & the girls – the sun felt really good!  Sunday was a beautiful day too – lots of porch time!
