Feast for A Dog
Well, it is almost my dog Rex’s birthday, and he will be turning the big five years old (in human years). I have always struggled to find something to get him, or do for him to make his birthday special, but, unlike a child, there are not a lot of things you can do.
In the past, we have taken him out for a walk on his birthday, got him some special dog treats, and once we even took him to buy a new house. But this year, I wanted to do something different and more personal - something he would appreciate.
So, when I was down at the pet store earlier this week, I picked up a mix to make homemade dog food. Now, this mix works as the base, you add water, meat and vegetables to it to finish the cooking. I made sure to ask if the dog food would smell okay, or if it would make the house stink, but I was assured that it would not.
So, when we have his birthday on Sunday, he will be getting a home cooked meal so to speak. I am hoping that he likes it, then we will cook him a meal everyday - we have more control of what goes into his dog food than buying from the store.
Anyway, it should be a good experience for him and us - I have never had the opportunity to cook for a dog before.
