WCR: All is good in BlackieLand. I've decided to eliminate the +2 feeding as it's now down to 2g, which really isn't all that much. Needless to say, Blackie looked forlorn at the fridge, and sat there kind of moping. I simply told her that that was it, and if she decides to drop weight, I'll increase her PS and +1 food amounts to compensate. Again this morning, I put her in the office, and let her go eat. When I was able to check on her 1/2 hour later after taking care of the others, there was a very significant amount of food still in her bowl. She went outside the office, and I told her, "Hey, get back here," to which she replied by walking back to the office. She finished her food and I left the office door open. The +1 feeding came, and again she was put back into the office so that the others can eat in peace. About 5 minutes later, they finished, and I cleaned their bowls up, and went back to the office. Again, barely touched food. So, I sat at my desk while she finished her food. I think the babysitter sat with her while she was there, and talked to her, so she may have gotten spoiled with someone being in the same room while she ate.
So, we'll see if I made the right decision, or not. Either way, I need to find work to help out.

MY WISH: For God to help heal the broken hearts of those who lost a beloved pet and/or human... For God to help those ailing make a full and speedy recovery... For everyone to have great #s... For everyone to be OTJ.
