Let the big dog eat

Feeding a dog is more complicated than you think.  Everyone has an opinion, and these opinions range from price-driven decisions to the so-called raw diet, which is about what you think it is.  Happily, these hardy little animals are able to survive these food neuroses that we seem to inflict upon them.

Kim is trying to fatten up Larsen.  At 49 pounds, he's at least 4 lbs below where he normally is, and people uniformly think that he could use a pound or two even when he is at 53 lbs.

To that end, I sent a number of food supplements to Kim for her use in getting Larsen's digestion back on track and then fattening up the little guy. My hope is that they do no harm and even help.  The extra calories from the coconut should do this, and he seems to like the bland, greasy taste of the stuff.


This is for a return to normalcy.




Here's another normalcy-returner.



To put some weight on the mutt.





Pure calories.  (the lady at Nature's Farmacy wondered if it would be nice to fry some shrimp in.)
