Helping Gonad lose weight
It is fun to run around the house with a long cord or headphones
and make Gonad chase them. Soraya and I also tried aversion therapy, which
consisted of holding a large slinky over him and letting it hit his back
whenever he ate. Sometimes he'd go on eating but look very angry about it.
Sometimes he'd try eating at a different dish. Sometimes he'd just slink off
into a corner. It made us laugh a lot. I don't think it made any change
in his eating habits, though.
