Sweetie Pie Turner here, with good news from the vet!

I’m down to seventeen pounds! Seventeen pounds might sound heavy to you (well, honestly, it is above my ideal weight), but my top weight was twenty-two pounds, so the vet was most pleased that I’m down to seventeen pounds.

Here is a picture MomGoth drew of me when I heard the news.How did I do it? Well, I didn’t WANT to, I assure you! I liked it when Mom had food out for me all the time, and I could eat as much as I wanted. Now, she measures out one cup of diet food in the morning and puts it where I can’t get to it, and feeds me out of it a handful now and a handful then, and puts whatever is left at the end of the day down for me at night.

I’d rather eat a lot, but I do like being able to keep all my fur clean, and I like everybody praising me for being healthier.

And I like that picture MomGoth drew of me, especially the beautiful claws.
