Today's breakfast went pretty darn good 
!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been sneaking in the NV Rabbit in the four PsIMA breakfast. Doesn't work for Pipsqueak - he won't eat it with the canned. He enjoys his NVO chicken upstairs on china :lol3: Presley, Perkins and Perla do need the help of some Fortiflora to get started. Today, I dropped the packet of Fortiflora on Perla's food 
It practically emptied out in a pile on top of her food :doh3: I couldn't believe it. WELL the 
rincess: thought she HIT THE JACKPOT 
I have never seen her eat so damn fast in my life AND she is a fast eater when she is hungry. Her dainty and delicate rincess: manners go right out the window when she is hungry. OH GOODNESS!!!!! She devoured her meal and licked her plate clean to make sure she got ALL of that Fortiflora. SO she had a great meal today. I really hope I am not starting another problem and I have a feeling I am - the Fortiflora. I just don't know how else to get those PsIMA to eat raw downstairs - without the help of fortiflora. Upstairs - they eat the raw just fine. Although, Presley has been a finicky boy about it lately. I have FINGER'S CROSSED and TOES CROSSED that the Rad Cat I get from Carolina and/or the other varieties of meats will be a bit hit :cross: :cross: :cross: :cross:
Walden and Wendall had NV Lamb ( I am trying to get RID of that bag - just a few more medallions to go boys :rub
and NM Turkey. :rub: :heart3: :rub: :heart3: I am going to make an appointment with Dr. Mark for Wendall for next week. His coughing has come back and I need another opinion. We will do more bloodwork, another few xrays, and maybe even an ultrasound depending on what the xrays show. I will pull up his thread in Health when I get his appointment scheduled. I am worried about my little man - I love him so much. :heart3: :heart3: :heart3: :heart3: He is really a silly, funny, odd little man. :rub:
Upstairs - Presley wanted NO raw today. But he did eat some mixed in with the canned downstairs today with the help of the Fortiflora :nod: Pipsqueak and Perkins each has about 1 1/2 ounce of NM Turkey and NVO Chicken mixed together. I am desperately trying to get them off of the NV products because of the bones. They did detect the NM Turkey but still licked away at the meat little by little. I have to keep putting the NVO chicken on top of the NM Turkey to get them going again. I am really enjoying this though, I love the time I spend with the babies and trying to get them to eat this raw meat. It doesn't stress me out anymore when they don't want to eat the meat - - We just try again later :nod: I am enjoying this and feel lucky to be able to have the time each day to be able to do the raw. It IS very time consuming. Plus having Wilbur - he usually takes almost 30 minutes each morning just for his meals - hand-feeding or whatever he needs.
OH!!!!!!!! Last night was Chicken Thigh night. A big hit again. NOT PERLA
- she prefers Chicken Breast :rofl: Easier to hide in her food and not as tough to eat. AND won't get stuck in her teeth

for a great meal!!! So awesome to read how they are all moving along!! 
I guess I just need to relax an realize they will take their time no matter what, stressing out or not.... Nothing that can be done about it.... We just need to go with the flow and make the best out of it.... Hoping that one day they will be 100% easy breezy carnivores :cross: 
I just can't believe it. I guess it is just toooooooo much work for her OR she just thinks there is something wrong and spits it out. SO for Perla - she get the Chicken Breast fresh meat. I buy it at Costco - the organic chicken. I do break it up in tiny pieces - much smaller than pea size. The chicken breast is easy to "smoosh" up in my finger's and break apart where as the chicken thigh - I have a much harder time breaking it up and pulling it apart with my finger's. I serve her about t one teaspoon of chicken breast all broken up in teeny pieces. I mix it right in with about 1 1/2 ounce of Weruva Paw Lickin shredded chicken. She gobbles it all up. I am slowing adding a little more chicken breast day by day - but very slowly. I have learned that if I go too fast - I end up paying the price :nothappy:
:stpat: 
!!!!!!!!!! Happy St. Patty's Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I was monitoring Perla eating her breakfast. I heard the typical "plink" of a bone being spit out onto her plate. 
I knew that would be it for her..... She took a step back from her plate and stared at the plate in complete awe for a few seconds. I was just standing there waiting for the fallout. She slowly and methodically turned to look at me with such antipathy 
and disgust - and then took off :dash: never to return. 
Presley will eat but only with the help of Fortiflora - otherwise - he will 
away!!!!!!!!!!! Most days I can just brush it off and go on and keep trying. But today, those two were even refusing WET FOOD 
I will get over it - but it upsets me so when I know they are hungry and just being SO damn picky. It is one of those days. :nothappy: I am hoping that they will make up for the lose of calories at the bedtime meal. Perla will be offered the S&C FD Duck and Pipsqueak will be offered Tiki Cat Succulent Chicken and NVO chicken. I have some thawing. I thought I would try the rabbit today for Pipsqueak. Just a total refusal no matter what. He is really addicted to the NVO Chicken 
starve, or I will end up in a loony bin 
:lol3: None of them sound like reasonable outcomes to me 
That is a lot of food all at once and she ate fast. I can't believe I have no vomiting out of her when she devours her food like that. But she never does vomit!!! I am SO grateful for that!!!! Everyone ate very, very well this morning. Started my day off completely on the right foot as compared to yesterday's disaster. Pipsqueak was a champ and ate almost 2 ounces of NVO chicken upstairs on the china. :lol3: Even Presley joined in this morning along with Perkins. They each had about 1 ounce each. 
They were trying to tell me that they are JUST NOT HUNGRY!!!!!! What I think is "pickiness" might really just be :ref: NOT HUNGRY MOM!!!!!!!!!!! I am over-feeding them. This will make my job much easier from now on. I don't have to fix SO much food at each meal time. This also gives me some confidence to push more raw on them :nod: and not worry so
