Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends, and welcome to my weekly post where I share my news and views. 

Today, I would like to start by talking about food which is of course a matter of great importance to all of us. I order to keep me as well as possible for as long as possible, it is very important that I eat extremely low-fat food on an ongoing basis. So, #1 spends hours looking at the fat content of everything she buys. She never gives me anything with more than 3.5% fat and most of the food I get is around 1% or 1.5% fat. So, she is always excited when she finds something new and delicious for me. I completely agree as variety is the spice of life! My favourite foods include the various broth and "dashi" pouches made by Inaba, the manufacturers of Churu, but the other day she stumbled on this:

Leonardo is a premium German brand and most of their products are fairly high-fat, but this is only 0.6% and it is very yummy! So she ordered me a whole box of the version with duck. I have to mention that Benny The Black tried to steal them (he is a highly-skilled thief) but she caught him in time. They will make lovely snacks for me! Of course, I like to help #1 make her selection on an ongoing basis when she shops for us :

I have been providing #1 with lots of support and I am glad to say that she is regaining her confidence after that debacle last week. The world seems over-full with nasty people these days, don't you think? I am keeping my paws firmly crossed that they will stay away from us in the future.

I do believe that a change of perspective, even a very slight one, can be very salutary. Something like my decision to sit the other day next to my beddie rather than in it.

And when people get really unpleasant, then there is no choice other than giving them the finger or, in our case, the paw...

As you can see, this old girl is still pretty limber for her age!
