I wonder now if Zoey's change in personality is maybe an indication of some kind of problem. She seems not real perky. She let's me poke and massage and move my hands all over her without a peep. There's no limping or moving funny. She's not really doing or not doing anything particular just slowly. Maybe she's depressed. She's probably just bummed about those fucking Mariners.

Or maybe she's freaked by the changes in the living room. When I was a kid I was forever rearranging the stuff in my bedroom. That's what I did in the living room yesterday and I think I kind of like it. I did fix the air conditioner problem rather nicely I think.

Also yesterday I pulled out the sewing machine and tightened up the straps on one of my new suits. My swim this morning proved the change was perfect so I will do the other two today and then put the sewing stuff away. I'd love to have a place where I could keep the sewing machine set up always but there really isn't any place. Just as well, I guess. Pain that it is.

I'm losing interest in my before-breakfast walks. It would really be better to do them in the late afternoons but I know that's not happening on a regular basis. I think, this morning, I'm going to try to do it after breakfast. Walk off the calories. We've got a string of cloudless sunny days ahead so it's going to get a lot harder before it gets easier.

Sitting here on the bed sure isn't making it happen.

Zoey

I've been a cat owner all my life. The other day when you mentioned Zoey wouldn't leave you alone, and kept asking for food it raised a red flag and it made me wonder if she's got something bothering her. Cats in distress can become really needy of attention and looking for comfort, or disappear for hours in some dark, enclosed area, or just wander around meowing (often in the middle of the night). If she's acting odd it could be an indicator that she is not feeling well, such as digestive upset from a change in food, constipation, etc. You know her better than anyone and you'll know if and when it's time for a vet visit.

My spaniel mix, Emmy, detests change. If something is not how she's used to, she quite literally freaks out. The other night I was bringing the dogs back in after a walk, and a little statue that my neighbor has outside her apt door was turned a different way. Emmy began pulling backward on her leash in an attempt to run away. When I wouldn't let her, she hugged her body to the wall and wouldn't move until I opened our door for her to go inside.
