30 for 30-Day 12 (Forgot to mention)

Since I don't really have anything to say for today's post I am going to add to yesterdays. :)

I forgot to add a part of the e-mail that I wanted to share with everyone. Fullerton is now bi-lingual. While in Europe she taught him all his commands in Danish and he responds perfectly to them. I thought that was so cool! She also promised to send pictures of Fuller in Europe as soon as her husband can get them off the camera cord. I can't wait to see them!

30 for 30-Day 11 (A Note From Fuller)

I just got an e-mail from Fuller and his partner. I love hearing from him so here is a short part of her e-mail. I am ecstatic that things are going so well! Enjoy!

Just a note to let you know how Fullerton is doing. We were in Europe for four weeks and have been home for a couple of weeks now. We spent three weeks with family in Denmark and drove down through Germany to Wiesbaden to visit friends and then into Switzerland to stay with students that lived with us while they studied English. We had a fabulous time with great weather, we only saw rain twice in the four weeks, and even then for a short period of the day. It was absolutely beautiful in Switzerland with temperatures up in the 70's F. Fullerton was nothing short of amazing to travel with . We had a 6 hour delay on our flight over to Frankfurt and despite this major inconvenience he did great. He slept virtually most of the 9 hour flight. He had no issues adapting to the change in water or environment. it was so nice to be able to go out for walks in the neighbourhood by myself and not have to be worrying about everything. He is a very confident little worker with great work ethic. Despite all of the new experiences he had he just took it all on extremely well.

30 for 30-Day 9 (Raw Food)

I've been feeding Paris a raw food diet for the last 3 weeks so today's post is about that. First off, its really nasty and makes me want to vomit every time I feed her but it's so good for her and she has already made amazing improvement in her energy levels, shiny coat, and health that it's worth it. I feed a modified raw diet which means she gets her normal kibble one meal a day and then her raw food one meal a day. I feed Oma's pride which is a pre-packaged raw food. I don't have time to run around to grocery stores looking for deals so I choose to do it this way. It looks like hamburger and is ground together with bone and organ meat since raw is supposed to be 80% muscle meat, 10% Organ and 10% bone. I don't have to think about the mix either its already done for me. So far Paris has tried Buffalo, Chicken, Turkey, Lamb and Beef and she loves it all! She also gets a chicken neck for a mid-day snack and raw meaty bones when I have to leave her home for a long time. Anyway, here are pictures of Paris devouring her first raw meal.

There you see it. . .

ummm. . . there you don't

Ya, she swallowed it whole. So nasty!! Now I spread it around so she has to take smaller bites. :)

P.S. I know that dog food is always a touchy subject so please keep your criticism to yourself. Thank you!

30 for 30-Day 8 (5 Things at 5 Months)

Today Snickers turned 5 months old. So, here is his 5 things at 5 months.

1. I love Snickers happy dance whenever he sees me. Whether in the crate, on tie-down or running around loose. Whenever I walk into the room he does a little dance and it cracks me up every time.

2. Snickers has a funny sit. He pushes himself back and shifts from foot to foot. Someday I'll get a video of it because it's pretty entertaining.

3. He is such a confident little puppy. I don't worry about taking him on any outings because I know he'll do great.

4. Snickers never just gets onto his bed, he has to make a flying leap onto his bed.

5. He does fantastic in class and settles down really fast.

Snickers is a great puppy and I am loving every day with him!
