Essential foods

I am very picky about what I eat. What everyone eats, to be fair. Even the people I should not care about. And pets are no exception. For years, we were loyal to a certain pet food brand so dear to me. Yet, that was when Gatsby ran free in the meadows around our house and burnt all those fatty calories, still maintaining his perfect posture. But things changed. We moved to an apartment.

I loved that brand, its natural ingredients, and Gatsby’s shining fur, but not the weight he was gaining after eating the same food, yet living in an apartment where the calories did not burn while lying on his back and daydreaming with his snow-white belly up. So we had to change.

The search was intense, as nothing less than what he had would do, even when the whole family could not understand that. I needed the best. Something that I should be able to understand while reading the ingredient list on the package. And something that would get back the sight of his sexy hips and belly shape. He needed to get rid of that cute overweight people loved him for, while his little legs did not.

And then the Contour package arrived. I sat there reading the ingredient list, thinking I was reading a package of something I would eat. And the rest is history. As is his overweight.
