Lite diets??

By the way Sandra and Glenda,,,I see the kitty now,,,,,(she is really pretty Sandra) but I still don't see x in Christines posts,,,,I see her two little doggies in her avatar!!!!
 

What kitty? I don't see a kitty, and I WANT to see a kitty. And what am I supposed to be licking??

Hunh? I'm so confused (obviously).

Aside from my obvious airheadedness this morning, I do want to say this (which I've said before) in regards to the referenced food, and other ones like it. It does have things in it that I don't want to feed to my dogs. But you know what? If it was what worked for my dogs, it would be in their bowls. If "Big Red Chunks" was what worked and kept my dogs in optimal shape, they'd be eating Big Red Chunks. I think the big thing is that we read and learn everything we can about nutrition, and then we do the best we can for each of our individual dogs' needs, and according to our individual means. If we present the information, people can be free to make their own choices about what is and is not a good food - with no head bashing or ugly comments necessary. Aren't we here to help each other, and to be a community? I just think that we can present information about nutrition in a way that is not hurtful to others, yet maintain our passion at the same time.

Maybe we need a be nice word here. Something like "purple peonies" or "muskrat". If we find ourselves getting down a road thats hurtful to others, maybe someone should just post the code word. What do y'all think??

Click on the word attachment in Sandras first post before the one that says she was afraid to edit....and when THAT opens, click again on the words .....  frustrating I know...took me awhile too.  Better yet, lets bombard Jaime with requests to just fix it!! (ducking)
 
 

Oooooooh, I see it now. Thanks!! Lovely kitty, lovely child. Can I squeeze them both? []

Seventeen years ago last month this pitiful stray pregnant cat showed up at my middle brothers house.  Almost immedietaly she had 6 kittens.  But she was so sick and she had no milk.  My brother and his wife got stuff from the vet and they bottle fed this kittens every two hours for , oh a couple of weeks, I guess and then started going long between feedings as the kittens could take more at a time.  J & H had not kids at that time (later adopted  2) and Jeff was a fireman (now retired) and worked 24 on, 48 off.  When he was at the station, it was u to H to feed the kittens that entire 24 hours.  One did die early on.
 
Anyway, I was up there and I fell in love with this little black kitten with white paws in the front (they wre calling her Mittens) and in the back, her feet and legs to her knees were white.  Also a white patch on chest. and white whiskers.  She was the only female.  I took her and named her Pippi Longstocking after that little girl in children's books and movies. She comes to Pippi or her nickname of Pipster. She is the m ost unusual cat i have ever known in my 61 years.  She had to strat being an outside at age 3 when she decided not to use the litter box any more (no matter what litter we tried) and use the bathtub or a closet floor instead. 
 
Well, she has never roamed any more distance than the yards on either side of us.  She has  "cat house" on the front porch and also access to the garage.  Her best pals isn't the cats on the right of us, but the mama chihuahua on the other side.  They will let the mom and dad and 3 kids out (the kids are 1 1/2 now) and the mama and Pippi run right to each other. Pippi is double or more the size of Tara, but that doesn't matter to either.  The daddy dog and the "puppies" are scared of her.  They will run at her barkin and making all kinds of noises and when she walks towards them, they tuck and run just a hollering.
 
Oh, well, enought about Pippi, but I think it a cheerful story for so early in the morning.

Aw, Sandra, what a neat story! I needed that on a cloudy day, thanks!

Give her some extra chin scratches for me, today, OK?

Thankyou for understanding that it's my opinion, so hopefully we can put it behind us.  I meant no offense to you.  >-.-<

Hi cheetah, Eevee's looking good.[] Did she lose all the weight you wanted her to?

Eevee's looking good

 
She sure does!  She is so shiny and pretty!

Thanks!  Yeah, she kinda lost and gained, but I think what she gained was muscle, not fat, because she's slimmed down and when I lightly press on her side I can feel rib like you're supposed to.  >^_^<

Now I just have to keep her slimmed down!

Hmmm, sounds almost like what I feed (sometimes) to keep the weight down. [sm=lol.gif]
