Look, in the Aesop’s Fable of “The Grasshopper & the Ants”, I’m absolutely a Grasshopper. I’m a very impulsive buyer. But if someone is going to ask me to talk them out of buying something, I will absolutely try.

Not exactly common. My understanding is it’s usually a result of being given to many table treats or a symptom of a bunch of different diseases or pathogens. In her case, the symptoms were that she lost a BUNCH of weight very quickly, and became weak & lethargic.
