Pre-Homing Diary

30th August 2007

Over the last couple of days Kaleigh has been eating the Burns Canine Extra as one of her meals whereas she completely went off it before.

It was funny how it happened. She found one of Fables Burns Lamb and Rice on the floor and picked it up and ate it. So I got her another one and she crunched it up - she has always spat out dried food before this. So I got them all to sit as if they were going to have something really special, gave Fable and Tara a kibble of their own and gave Kaleigh a Canine Extra, then gave them a handful of their own. Kaleigh was happy to munch along with the others. When the next meal came along, I gave her a bowl of crunchy Canine Extra mixed with sardines and she ate the whole lot without spitting out the kibble. This is now the second day and so it looks as if she will eat that for her meals with perhaps a little NatureDiet or fish or chicken. Then I can reduce the other things and hopefully by the time she goes back to Kerry and Graham she will be on kibble completely, or at least just a little something added, which is more manageable.

I have fingers crossed it continues. From the day she came here she has never eaten one single kibble without me mashing it. It was lovely to hear her crunching (see, I have been indoors too long) and it will be good for her teeth, too.

Puppies all fine. I think they grow over night :))

Kaleigh has now gone home to Kerry and Graham and is settling in beautifully. She is enjoying her new freedom and her new friend Keira, Kerry's mum's golden retriever. She is getting all the love and attention she so deserves, without the responsibility of the puppies now.

The puppies are completely weaned and they are enjoying being with their 'Auntie' Tara, but they are now ready to go to their forever homes and will be going separately over the next few weeks.
