Nice Evening

I am spending this nice evening at home. I was planning on working but then I started cleaning and doing other things, so I am at home. Me and Chhaya went for a nice long walk. This is her telling me that she does NOT want to participate in a photo shoot. Talk about looking miserable!



She is now looking very comfortable while sleeping in her upstairs bed. There is one downstairs too. She scratches the blanket and her lamb friend around until she is satisfied before she lays down.



Today while at PetCo I though that I should maybe switch Chhaya's dry kibble to a different dog food brand. I heard that Blue Wilderness is a good. Right now Chhaya gets Solid Gold's Sun Dancer. I did some research on www.dogfoodadvisor.com and according to that site Blue Wilderness is an excellent dry dog food, it received a top rating (5/5 stars), whereas the Sun Dancer didn't get as good remarks but almost, (4.5/5 stars.)
What they also told me at PetCo is that I should switch Chhaya over to a kibble for senior dogs because it contains less protein. Chhaya is eight and I guess considered a senior although she acts like a puppy most of the time. I did some research on that too and some people say to not give your dog less protein when they become older. That kind of makes more sense to me too. This is what the moderator at dogfoodavisor has to say, "After looking for a satisfactory answer to this common question, I've found the white paper published by Champion Petfoods (makers of Orijen and Acana products) to make the most scientific sense.
In a nutshell, the Orijen paper says... "Contrary to myths and popular beliefs, feeding a high-protein diet is healthy for dogs of any age, including puppies of all breeds and sizes, seniors, and overweight dogs. Studies have proven that protein does not cause orthopedic problems in puppies, nor does it lead to kidney disease in older dogs."
For the most part, I'm inclined to agree. If you get a chance, this Orijen report makes an excellent argument in favor of a high protein diet for all dogs... and it's certainly worth a read."
I want the best for Chhaya.....she is the love and light of my life. It's scary to make choices on the behalf of the pet in your life sometimes because they can't tell you what they need and want. You have to decide for them. Hopefully you end up making the right decision.

I think it is time for a shower now, then some reading in bed. Sweet Dreams from me!



Oh......one more thing. Of course I know that Hilary is not the Vice President, I said Biden (that's why I won the $ 10). But I like to joke around at times when I write here and I know that some of you might not catch on to all the stuff I say......
