Dex is at a good weigh (maybe just a tad fat, actually), but Ella is still on the weight gain regimen, and looks like she needs it. How, when they eat the same amount, and she is 5 lbs smaller than him, and he’s fat and she’s rail skinny… I don’t know. Guess it’s all the poultry-/buggy-chasing. She should put out an exercise video.
June is obviously not related to mine, for more reasons that coat. Ella is still sedately eating her dinner without resentment, while Dex has taken up the Carbon-boy “Do you expect me to eat THAT?” hunger strike. After a couple of minutes of staring at it, hoping it will go away, he will usually start in.
June gobbles up her dinner. And dives for everyone elses. And tries to jump up on the counter to see if there’s more there. And, failing that, sees if a parrot cage is open, so she can stand up on her back feet and eat the kibble out of their dishes. And, if that doesn’t work, sees if the basement door is open so she can go pick the garbage. I won’t have trouble keeping weight on this one.
The good thing about Ella is that she will generally eat every bite you give her, so hopefully she’ll be buxom soon. Our next show isn’t until December (June will be three days shy of six months, of course!), and perhaps not even then. But the age of plenty will soon be upon us (the ski season in the ski town) and I hope to be able to work my tail off and catch up on some bills and put a lot of money away.
I need National money. And money for 3 sets of hips (unless I decide to wait and do OFA – Why is there no good answer on which hip test is best?), and various other health tests. The good news is that June is DM clear, and Bronte will be tested before then, so mine might be clear as well. As GoGo is clear, at the very worst they are carriers. Fluff test is optional – I’ll see how it goes.
I also want to start back in agility. GoGo misses it, and Ella would love to start, I know. Dex and June don’t strike me as the agility types, but little Smellie Ellie needs a job!
