It’s been a pretty busy night. I did a bit of cooking for the dogs. Only one of them actually eats dog food, Bella and Candy prefer something like meatloaf or chicken. The problem with this is, Candy was used to a simple meatloaf for many years. She had my meatballs once and now she absolutely refuses to eat any other kind, sauce included. It’s a trade off though, because thanks to Kay Bella now prefers to be hand-fed depending on what it is and she’ll only eat something with bottled sauce. She grew up on my home made sauce for the last 3 years. So basically Kay and I screwed each other on the deal…heh.
With the not-so-recent dog and cat food scare, knowing that Bella hasn’t eaten real wet dog food in quite some time I wasn’t too paniced when I heard about everything. She is a huge fan of Kibbles and Bits, but thankfully that wasn’t on the recall list. I came across a site not too long ago that was about 130 pages long and it had a full list of every single item of dog and cat food that was recalled. My heart went up in my chest while I was going through it because when I came across the cat food section I noticed a few familiar names, the same brands that pretty kitty had eaten for so many years. She was put down about two years ago but if she were still alive today I’d know for a fact that she wouldn’t have been for much longer. She was in the advanced stages of feline diabetes so she didn’t have much time left, as is. It sucked to put her down but she was also 16 years old so I guess there was really no choice in the matter. She had a happy life, lots of playing and plenty of lap-time with the ones she loved. She was never a run-and-hide kind of cat, she was a full-on lap cat which is why we loved her so much. I do still miss her but I know that over a period of time, you’ll lose everything you love, no matter what it may be.
