It's too bad the RFC web site isn't maintained these days. There's a
section for RFC pets and Mia's picture certainly belongs there.

Oh please, put her on a diet and get her to exercise? Mia is the
equivalent of 90, right?! I wonder if her vet will be on a diet and
jogging around the block at that age. Heh.

I take it as a good sign that Mia is still interested in food. In my
(admittedly limited) experience, the time to get concerned is when pets
show *no* interest in any kind of food.

I'm sure a lot of us know exactly how you feel. She's family.

She looks like she's feeling her age. As long as she's not in pain,
keep her close and keep her comfy. I know you do. My thoughts are with
you.
