Dalton Update, And The Dogust Selfies On Sunday

 Thank you all for the pawyers, purrs, woofs wags and POTP. Dalton is a lot better the past couple of days. Not 100% but still, it is good to see him eating somewhat on his own, and he was even playing with Benji on Saturday afternoon. He still will not eat his regular food, (Freeze dried coated kibble with freeze dried 'patties' crumbled over that), and he disdains the treats he used to gobble up excitedly.  But he scarfed down a few bowls of so called doggy junk food by himself, which I guess is better than not eating at all. It was pate food. He also took some crunchy treats.

Saturday he got a bowl of more proper wet food, which was slices in gravy, with a few veggies mixed in, he ate it all up and licked the bowl clean.  However my timing was bad...

We went away for about 2 1/2 hours to have dinner with our sons...when we got back the dogs were excited to see us...but...um...near the front door, (which they never use to go outside), there were all kinds of pees...it seemed to me judging by the other marks on the carpet that those two had been playing excitedly and one or the other took a whizz and then the over marking began, which is what they do outside a lot...Dalton and Benji do drink a lot, because several weeks ago we got a big stainless steel fountain for them, which it seems they are drinking about 4  - 5 cups a day between them.

So out came the towels and the urine remover for the carpet stains...note to self...do not feed before going away...oops! I do not think it was incontinence on Dalton's part, because of the placement of the spots. The incontinence was happening where he likes to lay. These were in the main area...far away from the door they use to go in & out. We will see what happens today when we have to leave for three hours to attend our church service. Maybe we need to corral them in the carpetless kitchen.

Anyways, last week Saturday we had attended a Dogust party at our local petshop. So our selfies today are from that outing. Dalton had on his birthday bandana, and they both got pawrty hats for a photo op.

 I asked AI to add back the pompom to the top of Benji's hat, (I cut it off while taking the picture...oops!), and they did, but they took off his leash, too...maybe they thought it would be fun for hime to run all around the store, BOL!
Then it was time to go home again...

It's so much fun to join all the Sunday Selfies at The Cat On My Head, who are the ever faithful hosts of this feature each week.
