#10lbs

[alliswyattonthewesternfront]

i had some friends reach out to me on instagram after i posted about ishka's weight loss and what a battle it has been, asking for advice regarding their own cats. i prefaced with the whole "defer to your vet" bit, then gave out tips that worked for me.

almost invariably, any advice was shot down. one friend told me she can't ignore her cat's food begging because "she literally sounds like she will break down the door" and i??????? a housecat is not breaking down anything. there are adult human beings who can't break down a door. yeah, it was annoying retraining Ishka and Jadzia not to bother me in the morning after i inadvertently taught them awake human = full dish, but i still did it. and it really only took a few weeks to get them fully back to normal.

people don't want to put any effort into training their animals. they just want to reward bad behavior and complain, as if it is some great mystery that feeding your cat every time it yowls has created a yowling problem.

Today I met an AKC sheltie boy who was 1.5yrs old and weighed 10lbs (4.5kg). He was SO small. He had the American-type of face and coat down perfectly, he was just. Minuscule. He was adorable but what on EARTH.

4.5kg is exactly one Spart! But if he was that weight on an American-type stature, I can't imagine what his height might be :') Congratulations on meeting the elusive actually ideal sheltie!

Lets start to normalize going slow. Slow, steady, consistent.

Take time to develop habits. A little step at a time, day over day, month over month, year over year. Take little steps. Gain momentum. The momentum will carry you though and keep you on track. Don't expect to see changes in a week. Start looking after a month, two months, six months, two years. Find a journey that brings you joy.

Making my husband pick up a watermelon and a cantaloupe from the local produce shop later too. I just didn't feel like attempting to carry that the whole way home.

bart allen chews tim's cape all the time and there's no stopping him

i think tim’s cape is weighted in the shoulders both for practical and stimulation purposes & bart will wear that shit like he owns it

Nothing makes it more clear you don't understand veganism than by saying it's a diet for rich urban people

say if I wanted to be unbirthed...would you rebirth me back out later? Straining to push me out rebirth?

Hm. Well I'd keep you for awhile, maybe a week or two overdue to see how big I would get. It would make it more difficult to push but sometimes that's the qualms of having a big baby
