She isn't underweight. I want to start taking her for walks in our new neighborhood but by the time I have stopped helping unpack and put stuff together its dark and I am allergic to mosquitoes so until they are gone it would really suck to go for a walk for me. I had to get a steroid shot and be on antibiotics a few weeks ago from just being outside for a few hours it was crazy. I did unearth her doggy treadmill when we moved so maybe I should start walking her on that. The hand feeding mostly started when she had her surgery last year and would not eat and she got into a habit of me feeding her twice a day and would hit her food holder and then run and sit in the chair I feed her in. She really is so stubborn she would starve herself. I am sure my anxiety and panic attacks are not helping but they are getting better and she seems to be slowly falling into a routine but still absolutely hates it when I am out of sight. My mom has been bring Sammy over every couple of days and that seems to be helping some too because she will go explore the fenced in yard and house more with him.
