April Snow





Snow -7 Celsius. 8:48pm- snowfall warning in effect

A laid back morning bright and early 530am. Cafe jazz playing in the kitchen... the smell of hot brewed java.... wish I could drink a hot coffee with honey.....

When let outside in the first rays of sun rise, I noticed a fresh layer of white soft snow covering the ground. Simply.... Irresistible powdery, cotton layers to tunnel my nose into and investigate. I love hopping around in the freshly fallen snow.

My digestive tract issue. I am still on the vet prescribed low residue wet food, trying to maintain healthy solid stool. It's strange having my owner constantly monitoring my excrements, but I guess it's part of growing up.

The state of my stool.... has gotten a lil' better.

Plan is to introduce a low residue kibble slowly over time into the wet, increasing the amount of kibble and decreasing the wet over time.... Once the wonderful wet runs out, I then will transition to the Go! Endurance kibble. But it may be the Go! is simply too rich, maybe too high in crude protein at 34%. May have to go down chomping on some kibble with crude protein at 24-28% ... but not any lower since I am a puppy that requires a fair amount of protein (as compared to my mom and dad).

Last night, I over heard a conversation re: Raw/BARF for urban dogs.... an interesting debate.
However, Treats outside of the normal kibble will be no go for a while until my gut can handle things.

I realize that I don't chew much when I eat. Simply don't have the teeth built for it right now. Moisten kibble treats are good to me.

Bed time... Ruff Ruff :P
