Armand made
this REALLY sad noise while I was finishing up getting ready, so I went
to snuggle him a little, and he said they hadn’t eaten in days. I went
over to look at their bowls, and Albert chimed in in
agreement.

dan (8:25 AM):
Is that what he told you? They hadn’t eaten since yesterday.

erin (8:26 AM):
They said days. But yeah, I opened the new food and got out a measuring
cup to dispense it, because I knew I’d never be able to lift it. They
were literally pushing each other out of the way while I was opening the
bag. I had to move the trash can to get at the door, and when I poured
the food: Albert rubbed his head on my hand so hard that I spilled
quite a bit of it and then stood right where the trash can goes to clean
up what I’d spilled. I asked him to move and nudged him with the trash
can, but he just would NOT move. He was still eating when I left.
Mando ate enough and then went under the table again.
