Zeus gets a pedicure at least a couple times a week. Well you can call it that with the cheap nail grinder I use. He doesn't like the nail clipper at all! A couple times I nipped too close and he yelped good, had some blood too. Ever since he sees me get the hand clipper and he's gone. So I just use the cheap grinder I have, he's pretty good with that and he lets me grind away. Mine isn't very powerful so I have to keep touching them up a couple times a week. He's doing well on the grasslands and Chris's stew version. If he keeps going with his appitite, he's going to nicely bulk up into his shorter square frame very nicely. Monica wants me to bring him to the UKC in Brampton next weekend and see how he is. Might be his 2nd UKC debut? She will make the decision not me.

He looks great Gary.....Dante is doing well on the Grasslands too....little guy is up to 6 cups of food plus, plus his stew each meal. Must mean another growth spurt.....can't wait for his birthday next Thursday.....Kerrie was already out shopping with him today.....he got a pedicure and a new collar.....he gets a pedicure more regularly than I do......what's up with that!!!!! Zeus is still a grazer and not voracous eater at all. Monica read me the riot act and she was right. I cut him off everything when he travels with me. No more Micky D's or Subway, nothing. He gets his morning meal at home and if he doesn't eat then his next meal is that night when we get back home. It took about 10 days but then he started eating every morning. When we got back home he was pretty hungry and ate his meal too. So cutting out the travel inbetweens got him back more on a proper routine. Thanks Monica for setting me straight He never completely finishes everything usually leaves a spoon or so of kibble. Evn just 3-4 kernels The last while since the kennel stay when he lost all the weight he's actually wanted 3 meals a day. So when at home he has been getting breakfast, lunch and dinner. I know his kibble cup for a meal is a cup and a half and he probably gets close to the same in stew so about 3 cups per meal. I guess he is eating more then I think he is adding it all up. How do you like Dante's breath just after eating?? Chris hates the smell of the grasslands on his breath! It goes away quick though and that's the 1st kibble I would say of all of them we have tried that you can see he's doing well on. ;D ;D ;D His stools are also small and soilid. ;D ;D ;D I know you were saying Dante tended to be looser etc all along did you notice how his stool changed going to the Grasslands? Zeus it was like overnight the change! I know it's not right but I switched him one day cold turkey to Grasslands. Post up some new pictures of Dante! Zeus and I are being post hogs

The days of HUGE loose stools are done....YIPPEE !!!! ;D ;D Since Monica suggested we switch him to Grasslands stools are firm and smaller ....He gets almost 3 cups of Kibble and Stew twice a day...But he also gets alot of exercise...He gets a 30 minute walk at 5:30 in the morning with Barbara...A 45 Minute walk with the Dog walker around noon...Ant then when I get home around 3 we go for an 1 to 2 hour run and hike where he is off leash...Some days he runs the entire time and others he is not so exuberant..Then we usually go for another 45 minute walk around 10pm before he passes out for the night... I will get some pictures up soon...I've been very lax about that...Sorry... Its our boys birthdays in 2 days....He already got a new collar and ordered his new winter coat...( another coat that is...lol) We have very,very,very spoiled dogs...but we can never give them anything close to what they give to us in return...

Amazing about the stools with the Grasslands! Zeus has gained back all he lost from his kennel stay and more, but he still has a way to go. I suspect by spring he's going to be looking good. His coat is nice too on the Grasslands. He gets about 1 1/2 cups kibble and a cup of stew each meal. Morning and evening, 2 meals. Some days when we are home he wants lunch too and usually he only eats half the breakfast when he wants lunch so then he gets about 1 more cup of kibble and stew overall. He's such a grazer, comes eats, leaves, comes back, I've counted as many times as 10 trips before he finishes. Nest time you see Monica ask her about Zeus and the training dummy for Scuzchund ( however you spell it) he impressed the heck out of her and me too!! Zeus has a new Chilly Dogs Great White North in transit for his birthday, it will be here on Friday. He loves the one he has, so I got him another one this time red and black. he will be so handsome in red and black ;D Wow Dante is really getting his time out. Zeus doesn't get that much walking time. For Zeus it's just under 3 miles a day, and some days I have a block I add that makes it over 3 miles. He gets at least one, sometimes 2 free runs at the race track, he 's had enough after about 20 min but we make it 30 min. I think after the track closes for the season then I'll always do weekend days and make it longer for him out there. Spoiled??? NAW. .... you think Ok Maybe just a little ;D

Miss Cara outside in the yard yesterday.... Hi Jess, Thanks for the pics, I got the email as well. It looks like miss Cara has lost some weight (not that she couldn't have benefited from a couple lost pounds) How are you liking the new house, bigger yard and all bells and whistles?
