You all have really made me feel so great reading your comments...it's so awesome to be able to connect with other dog people who understand what it's like to be so attached to an animal and care for them so much, that you are willing to do anything to make sure they live the happiest and healthiest lives possible. Some people don't understand it, but I value life so much...especially the life of a little dog who has done so much for me.
I told my mom on the phone the other day that I would rather live outside in a cardboard box with my dog, than in my nice, warm house without him. (Although, I don't know how he would feel about that...he is not a big fan of rain or cold weather).
In regards to treats, he doesn't really need them, except for the fact that I was trying to work on training with him and he is in the S.T.A.R puppy class and Canine Good Citizen...so it's kind of nice to have them just to work on his skills for that. I did find some info on the Yahoo Liver Shunt/MVD support group about how to bake the canned l/d to make it into pieces that could more easily be used for treats, so I may try that. If not, I'll just use the food as is, because he seems to quite like it. |
