Re: Boomer's Vaccination Schedule

["Deb & Boyd McFail" <bdmcfail@alaska.net>]

The 5 1/2 to 8 month immunity drop is something I had not heard of before!
thank you for letting me know that Gina. My goodness, I cannot believe the
wealth of information being exchanged in just this week alone! wow! jackpot
time eh?

On that note, whoever sent in the pie plate idea for spreading the food out
hank you so much! Boomer's appetite had been spotty and I knew he wasn't
sick but couldn't quite figure it out.

I did however figure out that if I continued to add the amount of water I
was adding to soften his kibble that he would also CONTINUE to pee every 15
seconds during the day, lololololol... like DUH. (THE LIGHT DAWNS... ergo,
drain the softened kibble before feeding him)

So, thankfully, the extra liquid is gone and the food is out where he can
reach it rather than in a narrow puppy bowl and all is well. I do believe
he's now got some bit of control about pee'ing outside where he's supposed
to rather than on the tarp surrounding his area in the living room. We have
not to date had a poop accident inside (counting blessings)

He is so proud of himself as he runs to collect his Cheerio for a 'poddy
outside' I wonder if General Mills has any idea what we use their breakfast
cereal for?! lololol.
