About time!

We're lame & havent updated. Its been crazy around here.

Bel got weighed & is now 118#'s

She went to the dog park today for the first time... and had a BLAST. What a social butterfly.

Bel's view on puppies:

They have sharp teeth.

They never stop playing.and They dont listen well.




Over all, she likes them.

Feeding Raw

Loads of links.

These are links I've gotten from others, and a few I stumbled across myself.

Raw has been really easy for us. I feed fresh ground flax seed & Sunflower seed for Omega 3 & 6. I give them the Yeast fighter product that Ii previously bought. It includes enzymes & probiotics. I grind egg shells for calcium. I occasionally give yogurt, cottage cheese, pumpkin for tummy when they have loose stools (which isnt very often), and Bel gets occasional veggies. Blu does not.

Myths of Raw Feeding

Affordable meals
Mountain dog food

Bel took to raw like white on rice. She has stopped destructive chewing & doesn't tear apart her toys anymore.
We feed raw at less cost than it was for 5 star kibble. Now that's an incentive.

We are honored!

We we're bestowed with this blog honor by our friends over at The PR Gang.

Cycle

Bel started her cycle a week after her birthday. She JUST finished. It was aweful at times, but once we adjusted to her constant complaining & need to be ON you, we were able to make it through.
Enjoy the photos of her in her various undies.

Happy Birthday Belisma Rune!
