    It might be if I could get them up here! At least for a treat. I've never seen frosty paws around here.

    This is Ozzy's new diet. Same brand as their usual food but even more fat and protien..Acana Extreme I was lucky to even get a bag. The feed store doesn't usually have any in the summer, since most sled dogs would get very fat eating this in the off season! I also bought him a bunch of chewies and all the stuff to make satin balls!

    I have a dog with an insane metabolism too....let me know how those Satin Balls work for ya! I'm not too worried yet since my boy is still under 2 years...
    Glad to hear Ozzy checked out okay! Dr. Jessica sounds like a good match for him...gentle vets can sometimes be hard to come by...


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    Oh Ozzy, if only I had your problem Come spend some time with Dasher and me. A lady saw him at the dog park and said "That dog looks underfed." She was being funny, of course. Dasher would be happy to share his home cooked food with you. Get well soon and eat!

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Well, he's not a fan of the new food. Wouldn't touch it last night, but he did eat some this morning. Sundin really likes it though! Not that Sundin needs to gain any weight; he's about perfect where he is!

    Ozzy is wolfing down the satin balls though!

    Wow, 37% protein and 25% crude fat! I hope that he takes to liking the new food and starts to put some weight on. I've considered satin balls for Frankie and might give them a try. She eats 6-7 cups a day when she's hungry and loses weight where as Riley eats 2 cups of reduced cal and gains weight .

    Hopefully he won't have to go for the super expensive tests!

    Aww mom, they are just keeping you on you toes. I'm glad Ozzy likes
    the new grub. Just had a thought, do the pizza places deliver up there? My pups love that.

    The local Wiscoy has a homemade variety of them. I will look next time I am there for the recipe. Sequoia loves those which she gets at the Ice Cream socials in August and the ones in the grocery store frozen section. We have had to limit her to one a week to get some weight off her chubby butt. She got herself up to 63 pounds! She should be 50 cause she is large for a husky.

    That would be great. Thanks. Tell Sequoia to send her extra weight here! Ozzy will put it to good use!
