Poppy - Still Fat!

Hello - Poppy here!

I had my weigh-in yesterday and hadn't lost anything!

I'm not too worried because the vet told my humans that the during first few weeks after the food supply decreases, the body will think that famine's on its way and start storing fat. It isn't until the body needs to start using that fat in order to survive that weight loss occurs so I'm keeping my toes crosses that this is the reason for my continued chubbiness.

Another possibility is that I might have developed more muscle because Dad runs with me in the evening when we go for our walk. I've heard him telling Mum that he can slide 3 fingers inside my collar now as opposed to the 2 he could get in there before, so that must be a good sign, eh?

Life's pretty miserable without titbits, though. I keep giving the humans my best "Poor me, I'm terribly hungry" look but it doesn't work anymore. Not even on Mum. When she's working in the bedroom, I sit by the bed patiently waiting for a little crumb of a sandwich or something to be offered, but nothing's ever forthcoming. What a miserable lot they've turned into!
