Well??? How was the night? Any accidents?
:D Nope, nice clean bed this morning and nice clean butts today - both of them. :cool: And they both seem to like the Natural Balance better than the Solid Gold....tho I'd like them on something different for long-term just not sure yet what. :rolleyes: I think my thyroid is not functioning as well as it should 'cause I get much too tired for the little activity I do and the brain cells have gone on vacation 20 out of 24 hours a day it seems. Looking at dog foods is exhausting! :p I had decided I wanted to try a Taste of the Wild but PetCo doesn't carry TOTW....it's carried at a store on the other side of town. So I guess I'll be checking that out soon. I gotta say, it's very strange at meal times. What used to take about 30min. now takes about 5! I keep standing, staring at their bowls, wondering what I've forgotten! :p
LOL Leslie, Yea, just putting the food in the bowl, doesn't take nearly as much time as when you are cooking and separating and all that for each one.
Sort of confusing isn't it. :)

Yay for clean butts, and for good poos too, simple joys!!!
Hi Leslie,
One of my friend's vet told her not to feed her little one Taste of the Wild because of a higher protein level. The vet said that it was a high quality food and highly recommended, but better for bigger dogs. He said it was great as a supplement for the little guys, but not as a main staple. I don't remember all of the details because this was a while ago. Please read the label carefully before you decide to switch again. Xxxxx
One additional caution about TOTW as well as most of the other higher end grainfree kibbles is that they tend to have a higher fat content. For "normal" dogs, this is no issue. But if fat is an issue for your kids, they may not be the best choice. :o

Thanks, ya'll! I had been looking at ingredients only, not the analysis. :o I know better.
Poop report from our house - solid stools and LOTS of them! :eek: I had forgotten that using commercial feed will mean more poops and boy has it. They have gone from 1 or 2 poops a day to 5 or 6. Which means they are not able to use as much of the commercial feed as they were the home cooked. Mom walks around with a shovel eat up with guilt. :( The plus side of this is supposed to be the fact that I got $60 worth of food for myself this month but I find I am choking on it. :rolleyes:
Squirt is doing good overall. Her appetite is good, moods good, she's often playful especially on the cooler mornings, and is enjoying staying out in the yard when it's not so hot. She still sleeps a lot during the day and is awake for a long time at bedtime, getting on and off the bed for hours. She makes me very nervous moving around on the bed and I have put her in the bathroom for the nite a few times just to protect her wobbly legs when she's so active in the bed. Her leaking is minor and infrequent, especially if I will take her out about every 2 hours to pee...and make her stay out there til she does. ;) Her sight and hearing are getting less and less but she's still interactive and happy, and that's what counts most of all.
Hugs,
Leslie and the Queen
Well good poo reports on this side of the poo band wagon, hurrah!!!!!!
I wonder if I still have my Whole Dog Journal from January. They usually review dog foods but sometimes they dont cover all the bases. I'll go look for it:):):):):)
Yeah for good poohs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May all doggies have good poops too. :)
Yes absolutely, quality of life, happiness, those are the important things. The rest is just...details. :)
