The past few weeks I’ve been obsessing over finding something for Annie that she shows strong interest in eating. I’ve tried five different meat flavors of baby food, different cans of Fancy Feast, Nutro foods, different dry kibbles and all she’ll do is eat a few bites, then turn her head.
This morning, Brian made bacon and eggs, which he has twice a week. He makes extra bacon for me. Well, I walked into the office, having finished my last piece (I get two) and I let Annie smell my fingers. Oh, my goodness! Her head came up, she started looking around, sniffing. She stood up. I ran into the other room where Brian was eating and asked if he had any more bacon, save me a little piece.
It wasn’t as small as I wanted, but I brought it back to the office and broke off a tiny piece to see what she’d do. She snarfed it up. I broke up the rest and gave it to her. She ate every last bit. I’m hoping this means she’s getting her appetite back. Obviously, I’m not going to run into the kitchen and cook up a couple of pounds of bacon for her, bacon isn’t the best thing, but it was nice to see her actually finding food yummy, wanting more when she’d cleaned up what she had been given.
