I was asleep last night and the spirit of a dead girl came to me and asked me to come down to the graveyard for a date. She told me that her name was Gianna and when I finally got to the pitch black graveyard I followed her to her grave. Surprisingly There was a shovel near by. I quickly dug up her body and opened her marble coffin. In amazement I witnessed her spirit enter her body. She came back to life within seconds. We started to talk and laugh about life and then she asked me if I was hungry and I said of course. She walked off somewhere and when she came back she returned with our dinner. It was a juicy vampire bat! I guess she knew I would be down for that or something... We shared the giant bat. It was delicioussssssss. We had a beautiful bloody first date in the graveyards !

she's still a bit quiet a day later after getting spayed.

nothing to alarm me, she eats great, she's acting fine. I won't worry since she just had major surgery.

the hospital was rather nice, a big, new building and friendly staff. the vet was okay--except of course when he got on my nerves about vaccines. Yes, I've had her a year. No, she didn't have "puppy shots", I am fully aware of the vaccines and what they're for, thanks, end of discussion. My dog, my choice. He then comes back in and asks what I'm feeding her. When I said raw he hesitated before continuing, I'm sure he knew that that argument was a moot point. People who raw feed, especially prey model, have not made the decision lightly or easily--at least that was the case for me. It was two months before I finally took the plunge with Judah. I will never, ever, ever go back to kibble.

So he says, "It's just that she's a little on the thin side. I wouldn't say she's unhealthily skinny, since the biggest problem pets have these days is obesity so it's good that she's thin, it's just she might be too skinny. Is this normal for her?"

"She has always been a very slim dog. She's grown a lot in the last year, she eats as much as my dogs that weigh twice as much as she does, she just carries her weight very differently."

He mentioned parasites and I said I honestly didn't think that was a problem. She's never shown signs of losing weight, only growing and maintaining the same very lean build. She's like a whippet. You can see their ribs on all of my dogs. Judah and Israel weigh the same, despite Israel being shorter than Judah, but he is solid muscle. My mom commented, "You can feel him shake the house as he walks through!" and you really can. People think HE'S too skinny, but the problem isn't my dogs, it's the fact that people don't know what a healthy, THIN dog looks like!

I wouldn't say any of them are underweight, I gladly say that my dogs are, in fact, SKINNY. They eat healthily, I feed almost no commercial foods except for high-quality treats (dehydrated liver, Zukes, jerky, etc) and the table scraps they get when I drop food.

I just find it a bit "amusing" (read: annoying) that people think because my dogs are heaven forbid thin/skinny/whatever that there's something wrong with them. Judah already has joint problems. Keeping her thin is a huge help on her joints. Simona has always been leggy and lean yet she eats as much as Israel and Judah! Her metabolism is probably really efficient--she was weaned to raw thanks to pitbullmama! Simona is a 100% rawfed dog.

I know my dogs eat what they should, I know they eat as much as they should, and I know that keeping them thin (yes, they are skinny. emaciated? far from it) will only benefit them in the long run for their health.

I saw this sign hanging outside the Tamu Tamu Refreshments stand in the Africa section of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Those bright colors really caught my eye!

I hope that everyone has some Good Eats today! Happy Thanksgiving!
