diesel got caught snorting drugs *pics*
« on: January 11, 2007, 07:40:18 pm »
well, not really.  but it sure does look like it!  we got some innova, to try to help diesel gain weight, but naturally...  he won't touch it.  so i called our vet, because although he's doing good, he's so finicky about eating, i feel he could be doing better.  so the vet suggests i try nutro natural high energy dog formula, and if i wanted i could put some k9 puppy gold supplement on it.  i got both, although the nutro natural doesn't have great ingredients, but he said that he had a lot of success getting other dogs to gain weight on it.  WOW.  that's all i can say.  diesel ate TWO bowls of it without hesitation, and only stopping to ask for another bowl.  he was so excited about the food that he was walking in place as he ate.  after two bowls (about 7 WHOLE cups) i decided he had had enough because his tummy was getting full, and i didn't want him to over do it on the first time eating.  normally, i'm lucky to get him to eat half that much, and it's eat a bite and walk off.  ten minutes later, eat a bite and walk off.  i'm so excited, i sure hope we've finally found what he's going to eat AND do great on!

I just thought I would pass this on.  I used to feed Tonka Nutro when I got him as a puppy and then I read this little morsel and stopped. :-\

omg. thats way way way too cute!!! i hope you have some luck putting weight on him. we've been trying for about a year now to put weight on memphis. and today i noticed, hes getting REALLY fat. well, ok, not OVERLY fat, but hes a nice size. but still has WAY too much room, so a few more pounds are ok. i really got to weigh him lol.

Awww cute pics!  It's awesome when you find a food they actually eat, I had the same problem with Koby.  I found a food he loves and is gentle on his tummy, I'm stickin' with it! lol  If Diesel keeps eating like that he'll gain weight in no time!  ;D

Those pictures are great, but even better is the mental picture I get of Diesel doing the "Happy Dance" while eating his new food!
