Master, there's a lizard in my food!

During one of the dog's meals, I noticed Jon has been eating exceptionally slow. In fact, he was unenthusiastic in the meal. Sniffing and using his tongue to select what he wants to eat. At first I thought it was because it was the long beans that turned him off (Jon does not like to eat vegetables). On closer view, I saw a dead lizard among the ingredients.

After I took it out, I realized it was already hard. It must have died quite some time already in the packet of kibbles which it crept in to feast.

Poor Jon, he couldn't voice out his complaint to me. This is a reminder to me to constantly monitor my dogs'g body language in order to understand their behaviour, and probably their language.

A banana diet for my Buddies

Just yesterday Jon and Max was introduced each to a banana as part of their meal. I cut the banana into small pieces and mixed it with rice, blended vegetables and carrots and kibbles.
Jon is known to dislike anything that is not meat-based. Max will consume practically anything. So when the food was served, it was not surprising to see Jon curiously sniffing the contents. He was eating the so slowly; whereas Max just took it in with the normal gusto. In fact, it was the first time that Max finished eating first - with a 3-minute difference. Even then, Jon left a lot of the bananas uneaten. Well, that was Max's gain.
