She is trying. Her appetite is a challenge, nowadays. She is 14, soon to be 15, in her canine world. Many things are interfering with her health. Momsey is here to help. The gorilla diet has arrived!
The top ten animals who kill. I was intrigued by the #1 choice on this program on the Discovery channel. It was the moose. Where was the gorilla, I wondered. At #5, it was not the worst that the animal kingdom had to offer. As I watched, I was shocked to see that this mammal was a vegetarian, a 300 hundred pound creature of pure muscle. Wow, I thought. Leave them alone. Do not look at them. They will toy with with you but generally not harm you. Three hundred pounds of pure muscle. Really! Could my girl become a gorilla?
Sally's appetite has waivered. Could she become a gorilla at this stage of life? Her special diet was special no more. It was simply one of the guys in her repertoire of foods she would eat. All bets were off. Honest Kitchen came to live with us permanently. This minimally processed human grade food had been endorsed by the Medical Medium, the world famous food guy. She liked its texture and flavour.
Celery and cucumber juice would soon be returning. Our retriever and her brother had eaten celery, carrot and cucumbers for years, in their natural 'skin' in years gone by. A change of pace was coming. Same players just a different profile. I must try for her sake.
Today she ate apple slices. Where have you been she must have thought? I never give up. Selected fruits and vegetables have always occupied special status in our pets' life. Yesterday she adored apple sauce. The apple slices had been missing for weeks. Interest had waned or was it something else. Happy to see the change. Never give up.
Cantaloup, honey dew melon were hits until they weren't. She loved them today.Watermelon was a hit yesterday. Fresh, crunchy and juicy. Who doesn't love watermelon? Thank you watermelon growers. So much is owed to those who grow our food. Thank you. Thank you. She loves what has always been. Sally needs an appetite realignment. That is all.
