the butter cow

dear full belly diary,

when the grump has a full belly- you can really tell. he lays really still and grunts when you touch him. i got him a roll of that fresh dog food that comes looking like hamburger until you open it and then it looks like pickle loaf- i swear it actually doesn't smell that bad- but he has hard time eating it unless i chop it up for him. i've been giving it to him cold too- i thought about warming it up- but i didn't feel like it and he really tore that shit up cold- so- i ain't warming it up. he only has like three days of the antibiotics left, which are supposed to be given on a full belly twice a day- so i'm trying to keep him eating for that reason as well as trying to put his weight back on AND keep him shitting. we are weaning off the steroid this week, so i should be seeing a decrease on the humping. part of me will miss that added attention. he is such a good boy and i am so glad to have him back with me for the long haul again. because it is a long haul and not one i'd ever want to take without him.
