Zucchini are for girls!!!

Well yesterday morning for the very first time since the prednisone kicked in, over 2 years ago, Bingo turned his nose up at his food.

Of course the first thing I did was panic. This was Dr Dodds recipe which he had previously loved. He’d had it the night before and woofed it down, but yesterday morning, he spat it out!!! I gave him a little by hand, which he took and spat out again – on the carpet of course Sheena.

I check his gums and eyes. Good colour. Okay the heart rate and blood pressure go down a little (mine that is).

I go back into the kitchen and he trots after me looking hopeful. I begin to suspect it’s the food itself and he’s not about to collapse before my eyes, so I give him some dog food (which he thinks is a treat) and he gobbles that up pretty fast. I then understood it’s the zucchinis and beans. The first time I made Dr Dodd’s recipe, I did the basic version of just fish, white potato and kumara. This time, to add a few more vegetables, I added zucchini and green beans.

Also, because we are now down to Skip-a-day (week 3 and holding may I point out), perhaps he is not as totally desperate barking mad tearing his hair out for food.

Anyway, Bingo says the girls here can have his zucchiiiiiinnniiiii and beeeeeeeans. Give the man meat!

Love Vally & the man!
