Hi Pietro,
The really strange thing was that they used to give out small packets of this food in the park and the dogs loved it. However, after feeding them this constantly for about 2 weeks, they went for 2 days without eating, they just wouldn’t eat the food! So I knew that something was really wrong.
BTW, it’s the correct use of refuse!

Last summer, I had big troubles with my dog. His fur was falling, and he continued to scratch himself. It tooked me two months to see him ok again. It was the food. It is strange, because I gave him that kind of food (dry and wet) for years without any problem.
Luckily, the second vet (I was forced to change…the original one did not understand the problem) caught the problem. But I was forced to clean his skin every day and give him medicines.
Now, with a very expensive food (…) he’s ok. But sometimes he does not eat. I have two alternatives, so I take them one after the other, so that periodically he changes and continue to eat. Of course, after several days of the same “diet” he stops, so I understand it’s time to change…
The cats are different: they continue to eat the different variety of their food and never refuse!

Hi you again. I never knew there was a problem until we came here. Perhaps it’s the way English cheddar is made that makes it digestible?

I guess there will be many, many of these things. Most of them will be slightly weird, I think, in that we never did the masculine/feminine roles thing so the roles got very mixed up!

Me again

I always was told that dogs cannot digest cheese.

And I so understand about ‘roles’, things we can count on another to do and/or remember – and then all of a sudden, when that person/role leaves we realize we have a big void of whatever it is that person always did – it is amazing to me how you are experiencing your loss – and how it is impacting your life – and it just flows out in to your posts – I feel ya!

Love Gail
peace…..
