Mom is very worried. One of my fat lumps burst yesterday and my vet wasn’t open. They told her it might happen at my last appointment but she wanted me checked out just to make sure everything was ok. She is busy researching and reading articles. She’s grumbling about them not supposed to rupture. It wasn’t my fault! She washed it out with some stuff she got from the hospital when she hurt herself twice already today. I didn’t like her putting the cold liquid on it. The vet told her to use peroxide but she doesn’t like peroxide. She said something about it not being good for my skin. I’m oozing icky stuff all over my bed. We still went for walks today. Mom says I will be ok.

Mom washed all my bed clothes yesterday. They got all icky. I believe I have stopped oozing. We went for a nice walk while my blankie was in the wash. And now it smells better. Sadly, the food situation has not changed. I am bleeding and I still can’t get any food around here. Although Mom did give me some beef last night. She said it was extra protein because of me bleeding. She said something about getting me some liver for a treat for the iron. I like that idea! Extra treats! I certainly hope she gets some.

Mom got me liver treats again! I like these. I stole the whole last bag of them. Hopefully she leaves these unattended so I can steal them too. My side is normal looking again. There is no lump on it. There is still one on my back right above my hip though. That is the one the vet thought would pop first. Mom wonders if the one on my side grew and burst because of the new vaccine I got this year. She read something about that being possible. She worries a lot when she reads articles. Because she says there are so many different perspectives and no one knows anything. She’s even worse when one of the cats gets sick. She says it is because they are aliens and are nothing like us when it comes to body structure. She says you can treat a doggie like a person but cats are completely different. I sure wish she would feed me like a person. She gets to eat whenever she wants and I have to eat at the same times every day. It’s not fair. I keep pushing my bowl around when I want it filled but Mom ignores me. I know she hears me too. I will have to try something different.

I grabbed my food scoop and tried to chew on it yesterday! Mom took it off of me. I was hungry and she wouldn’t feed me. It smelled like my food. Therefore it is edible. Mom says I am getting “out of hand”. I don’t know what she means by this. My paws are just fine. I do have more energy! I can’t imagine why. I’m still very hungry and the woman doesn’t feed me enough. I have no idea how I could possibly have more energy when I am wasting away. Mom says we will be going to see if I lost any more weight next week. I certainly hope not. I do not like losing things. But she said GO! So that means a car ride! Yay!

We had a visitor last night. I heard lots of growling on the porch. Mom went outside and stayed out a very long time. She came back in once and got cans of cat food. She was out there feeding something when she starves me. And I don’t even growl. She said our porch cats, Zeus and Saki, had a friend over. It didn’t sound very friendly to me. But she gave away food. And she didn’t give me any. I like cat food too!

Mom said it is going to freeze this weekend. It has been raining ALL the time lately. It poured last night. For hours. Rain seriously cuts into my walks because I do not like the rain. I sometimes don’t even want to leave the porch when it is raining. Mom has to push me off. It is very mean of her because then I get wet. She said it is going to rain for the next two weeks. That’s almost 3 months in dog years! I better get some walks in. At least it isn’t very hot. It is cold and I can come inside and snuggle up with Mom and purr at her. I rumble a lot when Mom hugs me. She says it’s burning extra calories. I don’t know what calories are but Mom makes me rumble more than she used to. She purrs back at me too! We sing sometimes. I bet the neighbors love our serenades. We sound so pretty together.

Rain again! Rain rain rain. I want to go out for more walks. And it is wet. I am bored. And I want more food. Big doggie sigh. So sad because no big walks and no extra food. I am going to have to formulate a plan on how to get something. Mom keeps feeding those cats outside but she won’t feed me any more times a day. That’s not fair. We need to GO somewhere and do something. Mom said I have to go for a bath soon. She is waiting for my side to heal a bit before she takes me though. I want to GO! There are treats at the bath place!
