Hi everybody! I am doing great after surgery 2 wks ago. I feel fine and can get around very well. But my problem is with Fatty these days. She is being so spoiled and stubborn! (and yes, I would reconize spoiled and stubborn, hehe) While I couldn't get to the store last week, Fatty ran out of collard greens. She had everything else that i normally feed her. She had turnip greens and mustard greens. She also had butternut squash, green beans, snow peas, parsnips, cantaloupe, strawberries and raisins.
But since Ben did my shopping for me, (he was wonderful!) it had to be done in my hometown. And the store was out of collard greens. WELL, that was it! Fatty got mad and turned up her nose to everything else. I made a trip (the Dr. said i could be in a car if it was an emergency, and in my book, this qualifies!)to Council Bluffs 3 days into her highnesses fit, and bought collard greens. Now she is sort of eating it. And she is sort of eating everything else too. But defintely not like before. She eats about a third of what she used to. This has been going on for about a week now.
And I'm trying to figure out a way to get her happy-go-lucky ol' self back. I think she is sick of me being hurt and having to wear ( what she considers to be *fashionably* wrong) the neck brace. I don't know who is more pathetic, her or me! Anybody got any suggestions on getting the momma's girl back to her ol' self again?
Also, she really likes the raisins, Are they ok to give her? She gets about 5 every other day.
Thanks! Sue3 & the spoiled rotten ( I'm gonna make my mom pay!)
Fats girl.
