Here in my home, my two dogs receive the best I can offer to give them a long and healthy life. For Blue, that means an expensive mix of wet and dry diabetic dog food. For Blondie it means organic, holistic, senior food that has antioxidants, chondroitin, glucoasmine, veggies and other things to preserve her health and teeth. Their “snacks” are organic, low calorie and meant for senior dogs. They get their medicine on time every day and visit the vet so often I’m pretty sure I’m single-handedly putting his kids through Harvard. So what does all this get me?
As we take our daily walk, they find dessicated, sometime decaying, usually grossly smelling bodies of little rodents and birds emerging from the melting snow with their entrails hanging out and gulp them down before I can finish screaming, “Oh God! No!” as though they were the ambrosia of the gods.
I wonder how many antioxidants they have?
