Mice! They taste so nice!
Meg, I'm not getting another one! :laugh:
I'd been spending time getting both Rosie and Bertie to walk nicely on my left, but I'll probably switch to boys that side, Rosie on the right. Rosie generally walks nicely at heel with Bertie trying to forge ahead. I'll check out the instructions but I'm pretty sure I can switch sides on her harness. (The default set up is for walking with the dog on your left with it on)
I couldn't believe how small Flash's sister still is. Her owners asked what the heck I feed my little heffalump on. I explained briefly and they didn't think they could afford it. SO I did explain how cheap it is to get raw food for one small dog and the local shops that are helpful. I don't think it's a case of her being the runt of the litter because the people who I got him from kept a bitch puppy who was exactly the same size as Flash when I picked him up and they were also amazed at how big he is when they saw him, so I'd already run through his feeding schedule with them and got the same 'oh that must cost so much' sort of reply.
I'm not exactly militant about raw feeding. I don't weigh up all the different proportions for each daily meal, I just balance it over each week, but I do really believe in the benefits. I keep the costs down by bulk-buying and looking out for the bargains in my local supermarkets meat section and running a small chest freezer just for the dog and snake food. For example I got all their portions of liver and heart for the next couple of months for pennies because it was just in date. Most of the pre-packed raw food diets on the market are IMO overpriced and a way of cashing in on people not having the confidence to just go ahead and feed their dogs without a label claiming each meal is 'Scientifically balanced'.
