Three Ounces

KATIE:  So Waffles, what's this I hear about a weigh-in?

WAFFLES:  Glogirly says that if we do our weigh-ins at home we don't have to go to the vet.

KATIE:  Waffles, for once in your life you're actually making sense.

WAFFLES:  She said to climb into our Sleepypod, then all she has to do is weigh us with her luggage scale.  We're going to weigh a LOT in the Sleepypod!

KATIE:  Waffles, I'm sure she'll subtract the weight of the Sleepypod to figure out what we weigh. 

WAFFLES:  C'mon Boss. Let's jump in. 

KATIE:  Don't be ridiculous, Waffles. We're not getting weighed TOGETHER.

WAFFLES:  But don't we want a really high score?  You know, so we can win!

KATIE:  Waffles, this isn't a soccer game. 

WAFFLES:  So you don't want to be on my team?

KATIE:  Seriously Waffles. That's not how it works.

WAFFLES:  Glogirly says I'm a strapping 10 pounds! Do I look strapping, Boss?

KATIE:  Well, strapping wouldn't really be MY first choice of words.

WAFFLES:  So how much do YOU weigh, Boss?

KATIE:  Not that it's ANY of your business... I weigh slim and svelte 9 pounds, 13 ounces.

WAFFLES:  So that's less right?

KATIE:  Three ounces less.

WAFFLES:  WooHoo!!!  I WIN!  I WIN!

Waffles Wednesday: My DIY Kitty-Weigh-In

Um, hi everybuddy. Waffles here.

So today is Katie's big weigh-in at the vet place.  Do you think she'll have as much fun as I do when I go to the vet place? I wonder if they'll coo and squeee and carry her all over the place to meet everyone – everyone who's wearing those armpit-length suede gloves that is!

Even though I wish I could go, I'm not due back to the vet place for a long time on account of me being so good at my last visit. The doctor told Glogirly to keep an eye on my weight though. She said that between 6-18 months can be a critical time for kitties and to make sure I don't go overboard on the food.

So Glogirly decided to give me my own weigh-in. The Boss would NEVER allow this, but I thought it was really fun.

Glogirly used her hand-held luggage scale and our laundry basket.

How-To:
•  The scale is really cool. You just turn it on and make sure it reads 0.0 pounds.
•  It has a strap that you can attach to the laundry basket handle.
•  Then she weighed the basket all by itself by just holding it up in the air and letting it dangle from the scale.
•  Next, I got in the basket and she weighed me AND the basket.

The Results:
•  So the laundry basket weighs 4.5 pounds.
•  Me AND the basket weigh 14.2 pounds.
•  I don't do math yet, but Glogirly says that means I weigh 9.7 pounds.

Did you know that I only weighed 3 pounds when I came to live at the Townhouse!?

So what do you think the Boss will weigh? We kinda look like we're almost the same size now. But Gloman says I'M a lean-mean-lanky-machine. Go easy on the Boss though...she's already feeling a little puffy, um...I mean fluffy around the edges.

Pee S:  Glogirly said to make sure you know that this shouldn't replace going in to see the vet place. And the luggage scale is probably not super-accurate. So if you have any questions about your weight or eating or any important stuff like that, you really should go to your own vet place.
