As our lease is coming up soon, several real estate agents had begun to show the apartment to possible tenants. A few days ago, I took the dogs for a walk while the apartment was being viewed. While waiting downstairs with the dogs, a French couple walked by and up to the apartment. Later, S told me that the man asked whether S had dogs, and when S answered in the affirmative, the man asked, "Was that a Saluki I saw downstairs?"
"Yes,"
"That was a fat Saluki," he said.
ahahaha! Louie, a fat Saluki! Well. I admit that Louie has definitely put on weight - and I am proud of it. If there is salmon in the fridge, I feed him the fattiest bit (lots of white). I feed him lamb breast - as fat as it can get. Chicken, ok, but I tend to give more than he can/will eat. I still run with him, or take him on long walks, or let him sprint in the park offleash. He has put on weight - no longer does his hip bones jut out like they used to - they are now nicely rounded. His ribs are only very very slightly visible, but of course I can feel them easily. Fat? I think not - just muscular and well-built!
I woke up one morning to him with his arms possessively around a toy (bought by S' mum for Kiya!):
I really don't think he's fat.
In any case, there will be one car ride this Friday evening with the dogs, a suitcase or two.. I am very excited about the new house, and I hope the dogs will like it too - after all, there is a balcony, a backyard, or a large front yard for them to choose to people watch, and lots of room space to sleep in. I have even found a large, fenced field just around the corner for Louie to sprint safely in! Well, it is goodbye to this neighbourhood then. I will miss it. Even if just for Moonshine.
