Kato ran out of food today, so I mashed up some oven heated apples and threw in some bits of unseasoned sausage. Not Very healthy but he finished it very quickly. Had to run out so this was the quickest meal I could come up with. Does anyone know of quick and easy to make meals for dogs? For future reference.

I honestly just fast if its for a day or throw down a couple raw eggs or a raw chicken quarter. Easy.

Scrambled egg? As long as the mean is nutritionally balanced overall not every meal in itself has to be balanced.

Lacey started howling to her favourite song today, it's hilarious! song

In other news, Lacey has been asked to the ambassador for one of the biggest dog shows in our area! I'm so happy that this is all possible because of her Instagram 'fame'. It'll be so much fun!

So I may be switching Spade's vet. Although Spade's ear is practically healed up by now, she's still being going to the vet quite frequently. Throughout the whole ear healing process, vet kept bringing up spay. First time she brought the subject, I firmly, but politely told her that no, I'm not spaying my 7 month old puppy. I told her my reasoning and I guess she didn't agree with me, so now she's basically making me feel bad for not spaying my puppy. I just think its very unproffesional, I knew my vet was a huge spay/neuter advocate, but she's not going to force an unnecessary surgery on me or my dog. All I'm asking her to do is care for Spade's ear, if I didn't speak to her personally about spaying her, why keep bringing it up? Its honestly just extremely annoying at this point.

@halogen I understand your frustration, but I can also understand your vets concerns. Spay and neuter advocates basically think that by not spaying or neutering your dog (or cat) you are contributing to the overflowing population which isn't always the case. However female strays are found with puppies sometimes because their previous unresponsible owners who dumped them on the street hadn't gotten them spayed.

Tarnishing everyone like that isn't going to help though not everyone is irresponsible and not everyone wants there dog cut open for something so small.

My vets dont mind about my dogs being unspayed and unneutered and is advocating for far less invasive methods to prevent unwanted litters ( like chemical castration ) its nice to find a vet who doesn't force the issue and we been with the vet from the first dog we ever owned. If a vet was willing to look at other points they might meet far less resists S/N in young dogs is actually quite damaging to growth as the hormones are still important till they mature.

If a vet is forcing the issue when you have told them your views I soul change vets I like having a mature discussion with my vet and you learn something new ever visit.

Well, that's their way of thinking, and is actually wrong. Spade hasn't even had her first heat yet, which ofc my vet knows.
