Default Jessie

She is doing better. She hasn't vomited since yesterday and is eating fine now. She is very energetic right now. I have made the decision to feed 2x a day now, but it will be difficult because of my insane schedule at Lowe's. I'll have to train my husband too...LOL

Oh well, as long as things are going good that's all that matters. If she is still doing good by September 4th and 5th we will be heading to Denver, PA for the trial. I hope to see your hounds there.

We feed Lucy twice a day until she got older (5) and then she stopped eating her morning meal (we never knew why) but we'd still put food out for her incase she wanted it.

Hope Jessie gets over her bug! BTW, how's Buddy doing?
We decided on naming him Mister Buster instead. It suits him. We actually called him by every name we had on our list and he responded the most to Mister Buster. So I guess he decided that would be his name.

He is doing very well. He is going for the last of his vaccines next Thursday and the last time we went to the vet he weighed 18lbs. When we got him his weighed 11 lbs. So he is a growing boy. He is a very sweet puppy though. He loves taking naps in our laps.

If you are out at one of Jessie's meal times could you not get her one of those automatic feeding dishes that has a timer on and you set it for a certain time and the lid pops up and exposes the food (wet or dry).

Some time ago a friend had one of these for week-days while he was at work and he had a web cam set up in the kitchen and from our office, we all used to watch his dog mooching around the kitchen and after a few days he seemed to know roughly when the food lid was going to pop up and approaching 1pm he would be out of his basket closely watching the food dish!!!

Great to hear that Mister Buster is doing well and glad that Jessie is feeling better! It's so nerve racking when they get sick. They can't talk to you and tell you what's wrong.

Mikey T's info is always helpful, too!
