H...I cheered for Lady Bug in honor of your babes! <br /><br />Have you tried vanilla yogurt? Not "plain" yogurt - that tastes like cardboard. Blech. My babes have always liked vanilla. You can buy it in big tubs, and then dish it out, but then again you would have so many dirty dishes at bedtime... What to do? Of course, not more yogurt here in Britknitterville.

And it's not just food; kleenex, TP, laundry detergents, basically any item bought on a recurring basis.

It's not necessarily a good thing in many ways including unscrupulous breeders and people adopting members of the breed without having a clue what they're getting into.<br /><br />As for yogurt, I do the same thing with my dogs. But, mine don't like any kind of flavored yogurt. They like it plain... which works great in terms of our budget because it's easy to find HUGE containers of plain yogurt. Just a thought...<br /><br />We've been down the massive quantities of omega-3's road (and we're still on it). In our case, the vet was very specific about the ratio of the two types of omega 3's (DHA and EPA). The ratio that's best for our dog is quite different from the best one for humans so I had to search far and wide for a source. Just something that you might want to ask your vet about... Just to give you an idea of the dose - our dog takes 20 human capsules of Omega-3's per day!<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about Samba but it sounds like you're doing everything in your power to help her.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336283699663453373.post-43792548953705366302011-02-16T17:29:01.078-05:002011-02-16T17:29:01.078-05:00Darwin refuses to eat carrots.
