ERIC LESS . . .

Eric here. A bit less of Eric than's right. Or normal. Since I've been put on that food trial (for my itchie-scratchies) not one single tasty treat has passed through my bark box. Nil. Nada. Only my breakfast and dinner munchy crunchies. Not even poopie presents from the deers and rabbits in my Royal Park. No kittie litter scrunchies have passed my lips. To sit on my hips.

Then a week or so ago I went to consult with a very impawtant skin doctor bout my itchy scratchies. More of that for another bloggie. Anyway. She was admiring my woolly wiriness when she remarked to the squares. "I'm VERY surprised how slight he is for a wire boy that's been Cat's Rated. They're normally overweight. I'll weigh him". Cruel eh? Mentioning my missing Crown Jewels. Hee,heeee!! No.No. Not the ones I wear in my Royal Park . . .

She hoicked me onto the scales. SHOCKING!!!!! I've gone and lost nearly 3lbs!!!!! Cos of nooooo TREATS. What's that about then??? Wasn't overweight to begin with. Not even a member of Jackson's Substantials Club!!!!



Crickey!!!! Clock how mini I've become . . .



and weak. Look. Can barely lift one legged in front of the other. . .



See the windmill? Here. Behind me on Wimbledon Common. No? OK. Here's another view.



Better? There's a sooper dooper Tea Stop Shop next to that windmill. Bet you're thinking did Eric get a wicked big wodge of dogalicious fruit cake ? A nice hot cup of char? A sandwich short of a picnic? Noooooooooooo. Them leggeds are hard hearted.

Drastic action required. So I've pawfected a new pathetic expression.



....with my bark box W I D E O P E N in the hope a smidgen of scrumptiousness might be dropped in. FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Think it'll work?

Eric!
I can't resist... you do look weak and frail. I think the hippo or is it a sea lion face got me? I'll throw u a fish! Okay... maybe you can just smell my lips after I eat a treat so you don't get the itchie scratchies.

Ya know, you are looking pretty unsubstantial. I am afraid you are gonna fade away and become just another Limey Ghostie.

We will send substantial substances to sustain life.

Noah the Airedale said...

Crikey Eric your fading away to nothing mate. That is border line abuse. A dog needs treats especially one as underweight as you. I think that tormented face is gonna do the trick.
Good luck.

Stanley said...

If you need to you can come live with us. We eat PLENTY! And, we'll be sensitive to your itchie scratchies.

Goober love & sympathy,

Joe Stains said...

I do not think it will work, and only because I know how CRUEL and willful those humans can be. Why can't we just have thumbs???

Stanislaw said...

You look like you can use some meat! Mom gives my bro and me big scoops of whole-milk cottage cheese when we need to pack on the poundage. It's a great balance of calcium and protein and it tastes SOOOO GOOOOD. Pupi and I tend to err on the skinny side too. But that's okay, it just means that we get MORE MEAT!!

the many Bs said...

poor Eric, that's just cruel of your leggeds to not give you treats. how do they expect you to keep up your strength? you need some tasty morsels and bones and chews and food!!!!!

woofs.

Dewey Dewster said...

Aw Eric......so yer Bitless too???? Geez, what a prediciment that is....guess ya would lose weight without snackies.....geez, we need 'em here......get some every night about 9:30....my Mom know just what time they should be comin' around and cries if they're late....but yer pathetic face looks like it should pull at the heart-strings pretty well....keep it up.....ya need ta get yer strength back.....

You lost 3 whole pounds because of no treats?! We will NOT let out mom read this posting under any circumstances! We don't want her getting any ideas!
We love that last picture, Eric! It's kinda like - step on his paw and his mouth opens!

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

Dexter said...

Poor Eric, how will you perform your important job duties like running around like a maniac and guarding your estate with so little foodables inside of you?

I hope you have found the cure for your itchies.

Toffee said...

Oh Eric - you are so gosh doggedly handsome! Lost three pounds? No! I liked when there was more of you to love!...do you want me to sneak you some kitty box treats? Shhhh! It will be our secret!

Sorry that I have been absent. Mom and dad were away at a Veterinary conference for a whole week! Mom said she brought me a present but I have yet to see it.

Do you have any snow over across the big pee?
Do you have any special requests of things my mom can bring over when she is in London?

take care,
miss you!

ERIC!!!!
I'll feed you man! I've got a whole closet full of treats that you obviously need more than I do!

Holy CRAP! 3 whole pounds, that's terrible, you need some delicious snackies in your belly my friend.

I send you lots of hope for a full belly...a full belly full of treats...

Slurp!
Mr. T-Bone Beasley

Poor Eric! Being underweight must be awful This is something that I will never know. As for begging for food, I find that crying works for me all the time. Try it. Good luck, pal!


Love and Koobuss Kisses,

Sophie Brador said...

Eric! Guess what? My mom just had acupunture two days ago for terrible itchy scratchies, Like so bad that she has bruises all over her legs and arms from scratching. She's probably allergic to the laundry detergent and has been a scratching maniac for two weeks, but since the acupuncture, no more! Maybe that's what you need. And I'm very sorry for suggesting it, because I'll tell you, I don't want it!

William Tell said...

Eric, my boy, we're gonna have to break you out of there for a little scavenging romp. I know some great places to sniff around and come up with something satisfying for your tummy. Maybe roll a little in something, too. You need a pick-me-up. :)

Happy Tails,
William Tell

Chef said...

Oh dear Eric, If you carry on losing weight at this rate we will not be able to see you if you stand sideways.

We know that eating establishment by the Windmill is fabulous as we sometimes walk on Wimbledon Common. Have to say we never receive a morsel of food either.

Hard done by we are, definitely hard done by!!

Fenway said...

Eric...You look as buff as Rocky Balboa! The diet agrees with you and IMHO you should stick with it.

Food causes a LOT of scratchies and the doc knows best. In fact, since I've been raised on raw food and extra good kibble, I never suffered from scratchies like my predessor did. And I hardly EVER get treats...maybe some desiccated liver when I'm training.

Good eating, my little Square Friend!
Fenway
