November 21st

I’ve been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving. Yesterday I snuck out of this hole and joined Shirley on a trip to an obscenely huge place called ‘Costco’. Of course she was clueless – she’s not very observant. I strapped myself in to the child’s car seat and hunkered down - she gives new meaning to the term ‘careless driving’. Do we have to listen to NPR? Well, here we are, ooh look I’ll hop on to the bottom shelf of this grocery cart. O.k. - I’m ready. This place is ENORMOUS - there’s food, clothes, samples, oohhh samples. Deep-fried spicy sausage in batter – I’m right here lady, throw a piece over here. What’s this – Shirley’s not stopping? Ooh look magazines -Lose 8lbs by Thanksgiving – what kind of a publication is that? I’m sure Dr Feleciano subscribes. Anyway, back to food – what DO vegetarians eat anyway? Let’s have a look in this cart. Hmm, cheese sticks, granola, pecans, mangos, tea – don’t see anything that one could actually thrive on. I suppose I’ll pull through one of these cheese sticks and try that. Just as I thought - bland, unfulfilling stodge. Ooh, there’s a phone - I’ll call home and have them meet me by the pizza - PIZZA - now that’s more like it. What’s this? Were at the checkout. That’s it? One cart, five items at Costco? That confirms it - this chick is crazzzy.

    Go to it, Patches! I just read your story, and I commend you for your bravery, and patience. You must know that your owners love you very much to see that you lose the weight and get your other conditions under control. Looks like you have a great health “spa” to be at during your “recovery.” Good luck to you!
