I feel your pain. Consider yourself wrapped in big ol' hug, plus a little smooch or two from Piper (she's stingy w/her kisses). I totally get your frustration and guilt and determination, but think you're doing just great. It's beyond impossible; I cave way too easily...I can't wear a bag over my head (to avoid "the look"), but geez louise, these little ones are thee masters of manipulators, bar none (that's my story and I'm stickin' with it...)! I've been giving Piper Fresh Pet, which she loves---except for sometimes. Right?! However, she knows she now has "to eat" before she'll get a treat, period. I think your love and care for Chewie is quite amazing and wonderful--as are you! |
