A Kibble Snack

So we were standing at the counter peering down at the third -- and hopefully last -- type of food that won't upset our pup's sensitive stomach. Everyone weighed in on the subject, and the one with the most votes was Nutro Max Organic chicken and brown rice.

My husband mentioned how much they look like cheerios and wondered what one would taste like.  We both smelled the bag. Oh what the heck, I will if you will, and we each grabbed a kibble and munched it down. Not bad. Probably good over vanilla ice cream.

Ok so now we're officially in the wierd owner category, at least with those willing to admit the goofy things they do. I don't know anyone who measures their dog's height in the closet but just so you know, she has grown 2" in two weeks. And that helped us know to buy a 6' tall fence for the run.

Setting her up with the right habits is important. That cute habit of leaping into your arms is going to bowl you over when she's grown. And this potty training business makes us crazy, but slowly and surely we are progressing. We, as in we humans, have to be clear and consistent for her to know what to do.

We gave her a Kong puppy sized frisbee and she runs with it nearly dragging on the ground. She already flips it with her paws and takes off in anticipation of where it will land. And she loves the chuck it tennis ball. This is going to be fun at a dog park once her shots are done.

Puppies bring out the best in us. Already we can't imagine life without her.

  1. Okay...I had to laugh out loud that you tried kibble. That doesn't exactly surprise me, but it definitely amuses me.
