This sits over my desk, and view of downtown. On the left is a photograph of my old dog Chani, giving me her ball while friend Makai, the Collie, looked on. Makai died a few months ago and we miss her. She loved to drop tennis balls in the tub while I dog-sat for her, and chase the vacuum cleaner and sprinkler heads. They were good dogs.
Below that is the tree that nearly 40 friends and neighbors donated to the city in Chani’s honor when she died.
On the right top is our current dog when we got her from the shelter at six weeks of age. She’s now 4 1/2 years old.
Below is my beloved Nathan, in the dryer. He died years ago and I never won an argument with him as he always had the last word. Burmese/Siamese are talkers.
I can’t have cats anymore because Jim’s allergic but look forward to living in the country and having all the strays come by for food and love. The dog loves cats as well.
So, I decided not to cook for this dog but did because she wouldn’t eat anything. We tried all the best dog foods including Wolf Cub and finally were told to put her on the BARF diet. That’s Bones And Raw Food. She’s on frozen medallions that she eats completely frozen. But during hurricane season we had to acclimate her to one dry food and actually found one she would eat on its own – Purina Exclusive, that we found at a feed store while escaping Hurricane Rita.
So she gets a certain amount of dry food per week so her tummy can take it, and lamb medallions with carrots and apples and blueberries and all kinds of good stuff. So I don’t cook for her but she is fed very well. In case you ask check out http://www.naturesvariety.com.
btw, there’s no wheat or corn in the frozen food. No meat by-products in anything. Poops are small and easy to pick up to put in the trash and her coat is so soft it’s like petting human hair. Good stuff. I know there’s a controversy about it but if you get it frozen, keep it frozen you should be OK. D
