 23 year old yorkie!
Ok, so my husband and I ate dinner with one of his professors on Saturday evening who is from Taiwan and barely speaks English. We were telling him about Hobbs, like we do to everyone we meet, and he proceeded to tell us that he used to have a yorkie and a pomeranian that both lived to be 23 years old!!!!!!! We asked him how in the world he possibly managed to get his little doggies to live that long, and he said that he never fed his dogs dog food a day in their lives. He said that he and his wife (who is also Thai) fed their dogs whatever they ate, usually Thai food. It was quite apparant from our meal with them and our discussion of nutrition during dinner (he is a doctor) that they ate extremely healthily. We tried to get him to give us some sort of menu of things he fed his dogs, but we could barely understand him since he spoke little English. We did understand him say that he fed his doggies mostly chicken. I asked if it was boiled chicken, and he said that he fed them boiled chicken, baked chicken, grilled chicken, etc. Really it was just anything and everything they ate. I just thought this was SO interesting and wanted to share it. I am not about to take Hobbs off dog food, considering I don't know squat about nutrition for dogs, but is there anyone on YT that does not feed their yorkie dog food?! Just curious. |
