Hi Poet,Yes, that's what I thought, too. She's so old and has so many problems that I was really just worried that she wouldn't survive the three weeks till her owners returned. I didn't realize how easily she could gain a FIFTH of her weight. That's like if I gained 25 pounds in two weeks. Yikes. But you're right--it would be much worse if she had LOST five pounds. The fact that she's eating means she can't be too ill.
I guess I have a lot of others reasons why I might be depressed, including: impending period (PMS), cold weather and less sunlight, my drug use, etc. etc. But this email from her owners was definitely what set me off. It was like, everything was ok and then my stomach fell into my shoes and I felt like life was too hard to cope with.
Why do some things do that to me? This is something many people would just shrug off, as: "Oh, man, those people are neurotic and ungrateful. I've been doing the best I can, and anyway, the dog is fine and happy," and then they would put it out of their minds. I've never been able to do stuff like that.
Thanks for writing to me, Poet. I think I'm also feeling lonely, so it helps to connect with Babblers.
