12/10/2006: "No T/D!??"

mood: Not so very happy!

Hi guys! Sawyer here, with a few complaints. Now generally speaking I’m a pretty easy-going fellow but there are some changes going on here that have me rather disturbed. In fact, I was so upset that I actually attended the staff meeting. I showed up early to get a good seat. But to no avail. Oh, sorry I got ahead of myself. Let me back up and explain.

In my patrols about the clinic I’ve found the most delectable morsels which are curiously contained in bowls with lids. So strange, these humans. Thanks to my man-paws, though, these lids are but a mere nuisance. Or perhaps I should say Maine-paws. Ha, ha!! I crack myself up sometimes. Now where was I? Oh yes, the delectable morsels. So as you can see from the photo, I can overcome these obstacles between me and the treats. Oh, how I love these treats. The doctors have asked me to make the following statement: the treats of which I speak are Hill’s t/d diet. Although it’s made as a dental diet, the doctors recommend them as treats because they have a lot of fat. When we cats (and dogs) bite into the treats, they scrape the plaque off our teeth. There, I said it. I tried to tell them that y’all aren’t interested in that stuff, but they’re all into the education. Please!

Where was I? Ah, yes. So now that I’ve got my treat retrieval down to a science, they up and take them away! I don’t get it. So I went to the staff meeting to see what was up. I heard my name being tossed about, and something about food allergy, diet (DIET???) trial, and NO t/d!! I’m definitely looking into this some more, but if any of you cool cats (or dogs) out there know anything about this, give me a holler. You might have to shout loud, because I’m doing a lot of hollering of my own these days.
