Please eat, little one! 

 

"Can you eat something today?" I asked our little 14 1/2 yr. old shih tzu, Casey.  This doggy mother spends a lot of time trying to come up with any concoction I can think of that might tempt her into a few bites.

I don't feel good - leave me alone, please!

 



She hasn't been feeling well for a couple months now.  She will go three days or so and refuse to eat; then perks up and eats everything in sight - all you will give her; then reverts to consuming little to nothing and repeats the cycle. 

" It's really good, Casey - here - take a bite"

 

What about bowl number 1?  No?

What about bowl number 2?  No?

What about bowl number 3? No?

 

I start with her favorite dog food (middle bowl.)  Today she licked the soft juice off the little bite size pieces.  So, this doggy mother decides she might like it pureed into a baby food consistency.  Out comes the machinery and doggy baby food made.  It didn't work - she didn't eat it (not pictured cuz it looked like poo.)  Then, this doggy mother cooks rice in homemade chicken broth adding an egg to it.  She took about three bites and there it sits!  So, not to be out done, I mix the two - mix the pureed baby food stuff with the chicken rice w egg stuff.  Nope, didn't work!  I am exhausted!  Time to rest and see what I can dream up next.

 

"I just want to sleep!"

 

Let's go take a nap!
Doggy Mother and Nurse,
