Snack

I’ve been going on a fast for the last week and a half or so, maybe a little less. My caretakers keep trying to give me a wide variety of stuff, including mango, various kinds of lettuce, the usual canned food, blueberries, rasberries, etc., but what they don’t know is I want something more meaty.

So, a couple days ago I had a wonderful snack. Well, it wasn’t out of this world, but it was what I wanted – meat. I saw a moth flying around and I jumped into action, literally. I got light on my toes and ran after it. It wasn’t flying very well, it was weak, or dumb, or both. So finally I grabbed it. It struggled and got out of my mouth, but I grabbed it again, this time with a strong grip.

I started chewing, and it was a tasty treat. I finally just swallowed it whole, after I crushed it down to the right size. And then I went right back to my usual business, which at that time was working out with the human-sized weight, which the tall male says is five pounds.
