Title: Hungry Pooch!
Post by Woobie on Feb 6^th, 2008, 4:28pm

My daughter's job is to feed the dog. She neglected to tell me that we needed dog food, and now we're snowed in.

The snow's up to my frikkin knees...

SO - anyone know what I can feed her??

This pooch has eaten IAMS all her life............ and when she gets more than a bite or two of human food, she gets sick all over my carpet...

rice?

shit

the poor pooch is walking around here whining like crazy.. barking at me and her bowl.

woobs

(who's REALLY sick of snow now.. tyvm!)

Rice and boiled ground beef (boil and drain well...to get all the grease out)... the sick dog diet.

modified to add:
Oh, after she eats, lock her in the teenager's room, just in case. ;)

Nani's idea of rice is good. Also, if you have cerial that isn't loaded with sugar you can use some of that. Biscuts or crackers will work too or a mix and match.

Well, rice will fill her up, but some adding some protein is better. Any other lean beef might be OK. The ground beef and rice dish is what I've had to feed sick dogs on vet's orders... so I'm not sure about other meat.

Since your daughter cannot/will not shovel the drive-way..make her walk to the nearest store to buy the dog food.

Walking helps with cramps and the cold will help with the attitude/PMS

My dog prefers scrammbled eggs and toast. Our dog wont go for the rice unless I add chicken stock or a little something to flavor it up. ::)

Hope you find something and there are no "messes" :-/

Since my dog has all kinds of allergies, I cook all of her food. Her favorite is boiled chicken, sweet potato and green beens or sweet peas.

She also does well on fish (I just microwave it), white potatoes, rice, to name a few. She loves apples, bananas and pears. She loves sugarfree oatmeal with very little milk and eggs. She can't eat turkey, wheat or beef. Lamb is excellent on their stomaches, but it's too expensive.

Just be careful that the dog doesn't eat any seeds, pits, or grapes. Onions result in pancreatitis (or kidney failure)..I don't remember which. Chocolate can cause a high blood pressure crisis and arrhythmia.

Hope this helps.

Poor pup!!!!! You have been given lots of good advice. I sympathize, I have to change Maddies food so slowly and we even had issues as a puppy with the different water from her breeder. Let's hope the snow melts soon!

Nothing works like a little beer if you want some peace and quiet. Had some clients that did that that came to the vet hospital where I worked....I kid you not.

I'm only guessing, but I would tend to think that oatmeal cooked with some beef or chicken boullion might get you threw the rough part till you can get to the store?

Post by Woobie on Feb 6^th, 2008, 11:50pm

Well, she's OK........
she had rice and chicken......... she loved it. she's happy. We fed it to her a little at a time.. just to make sure she didnt get sick...

And as for the teenager..................

those smart ass comments got her nowhere with me today...

I made her shovel, and after two trips out there, the neighbor felt sorry for her and brought over the snowblower and did our whole driveway (it's HUGE!)......... 8)

she comes in with a smug ass look on her face...
SO - and i made her clean the kitchen... spotless, and then, when she was done with that and she was REALLY pissed off, I made her fold and put away ALL the laundry that I did today (about 5 loads...)

she got away with NOTHING today!
She went to bed at 8pm... exhausted.

;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D ;;D

I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Woobs... :-*

OH - and Thanks for the help...
we've never ran out of food for her before.. geesh.

I'm glad that your dog is nicely fed now. :)

I have guinea pigs and they are much easier; give them a peeled carrot few times a day, bit of broccoli and sometimes salad and they are happy "piggies". 8)

nothing like loads of hard work to make a teenager realize it's easier to just do the initial job right.

whew! my friend had a mastiff that was sick and she pooped all over her kitchen...it was like a flood of diarreah hit the kitchen. It was awful.

At least with peanut, the messes are not that big.

And yes, the rice works each time.

She is a Boxer. She is almost as smart as a rock, but she is the sweetest dog I have ever had.
