General Update

Hi Everyone...I thought I'd give you an update on how Lucy and Wrigley are doing on their new food. THEY LOVE IT! Of course, was their any doubt? LOL They whine, well, Lucy whines to get out of bed in the morning knowing food is coming. And Wrigley, he sits and wait, ears perked while I fix his bowl of food, however, he doesn't wolf down his food. He is a slow eater, unlike his sister.

Rice cooked in chicken broth with mixed veggies. a handful of cooked chicken (which is more protein than they get in a bag of kibble, I'm sure!) and on occasion, some cottage cheese. I knew in the beginning stools might be loose, so I added cottage cheese to their meal day 3 and day 4 along with just a little by itself as a snack on day two and I've had no problems with sick dogs. Their coats are very soft and shiny. Lucy's actually looks thicker. And Mom? Well, I'm happy to be giving them good healthy food.

I found rice at a cheap price, .56 a pound. I also bought some cans of tuna in oil for emergency food. I got one of my roaster chickens out of the freezer yesterday and have a couple of days before I need to cook it. After I cook it, I will let it cool over night before I worry about taking it off the bones, just because I won't be in a hurry, like I was when I first started. Then, I will cook the rice and veggies in the broth and we will be ready for another week. All for about 5 bucks or so for two dogs. Not too bad and well worth the peace of mind.

Oh, just a little side note, this morning, Wrigley decided to play his finicky side and spit out his green beans. LOL Oh well...more for Lucy.
