Hey Christine! (Texas)
Just wanted to give you an update on Nana, who we now call Patches. She is absolutely wonderful! We got her fully switched over to the raw diet after about a week and now she LOVES to eat! We bought a meat grinder and have been grinding all of her food but for the last week she has actually been eating whole turkey necks and chicken quarters. She has to work at it a little longer than our other two dogs but it seems she definitely likes the whole meat pieces more than the ground meat. She still has a little more weight to put on but she is looking great and you can’t feel her ribs anymore. She has such a huge personality! When I get home from work she literally attaches herself to my side and follows me around the house for about 30 minutes. I’m afraid she is gonna hurt herself one of these days because sometimes when she is walking towards us she will kinda flip in midair and land on her back so we will pet her stomach. She also likes to lay in the middle of walkways so when we go to step over her she will roll over and grab us with her paws to try to get us to rub her belly. Her manners have improved dramatically as well. She still likes to sniff everything on the counter and check out what we are eating at the table but we only have to tell her to “leave it” or “go lay down” one time and she will listen and go lay down on her bed until we are finished eating. There are some days that she acts like she’s still a puppy running and bouncing around the yard chasing after our vizsla. All three of them get along great and haven’t had a single issue with each other. Our family will definitely always have a saint around.
Kate
