Big is beautiful. At least that’s what I think when I see B stretched out on the rug, posing like she’s sitting for a Renaissance painting. She has no idea what size she is and doesn’t try to hide her big belly. In fact, she loves to roll onto her side on the scratch pad for me to rub as part of the homecoming routine during the week. Granted, she is now big enough that she often slides off the scratch pad and almost rolls onto her back. It’s not like she gorges herself on food. She usually only snacks for maybe 15 seconds at a time, but she likes A LOT of snacks. The weight gain has been gradual but noticeable. I have been trying to find ways to cut her back without penalizing Hank, but so far I haven’t found anything that works. In the meantime, maybe I will try my hand at painting.

Have you tried to give her some exercises while she gets her snacks? For example a snack ball?
Thanks for the suggestion! Exercise is a lost concept on her. I’m trying to cut back on the food during the day while leaving the food out at night. That ensures I can still sleep but balances the amount of food that’s available. That’s the idea anyway:)
