1. My Millie has always been a foodie. She was overweight.

I have managed to control the weight by feeding her small amounts during the day. In the morning she gets what I call her tidbits. A pinch 🤏 of dry kibble. At noon, I do the same. In the evening, she gets some kibble and three teaspoons of (small) wet food. During the day, I will give her a few bits of kibble if she is in the kitchen. She eats a specialized food for gastrointestinal problems. She had a bout of pancreatitis a year and 1/2 ago. Had an ultrasound done and she is ok now. I still feed her the special diet. She is nineteen years old. She is my wonderfully funny old lady. 💕🥰
