It is snowing again...and with snow comes....THE DREADED SNOW PLOW!!!!!However this morning PL2 went with ROAST BEEF!!!! JACKPOT SUPREME!!! And a plow came, and Arch put his ears a little back and then looked at Pl2 FOR HIS ROAST BEEF!! WOO HOO! Now I am not crazy..do you think I am going to miss out on a little roast beef??So I put my ears back too..and got some..THIS RULES!!!!!!! We hope it snows for a long long time......we are a little stir crazy( hard to believe I know) We think we are making PL1+2 stir crazy as well(we know, hard to believe that too)So we would like to tell you about our visit to the Nutritionist.........so we don't have to think about the cold......

After her last dog( the infamous Reggie the welsh terrier) who had lots of health troubles) and then with all the dog food troubles PL1+2 decided that they were going to feed their next pups( that would be us) real food!! WOO HOO!! We won out!!!! WE LOVE TO EAT!!!!!!! All of a sudden PL2 had an epiphany.....Was she giving us the right nutrients??Were we missing out of something? So she decided we should go to a nutritionist.......

So the first thing she did was put us on the scale...Now not for anything but we are 3 1/2 years old...SHOULDN'T"T SHE THOUGHT OF THIS A LITTLE SOONER????????ARE WE ALL GOOFED UP BECAUSE OF THIS??IS THIS WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH MY BROTHER??? So Archie hopped right on like the little goodie two shoes that he is......21 pounds she said....Gulp then it was my turn..I put up a valiant fight...kicked sat down...but the stupid nutritionist won out.........

23 pounds....I WAS MORTIFIED..and she said it OUT LOUD...oh geesh......Hmmmmmm she also said.........

SO then the 4 of us went into her office and she reviewed what PL2 makes for us(for the last 3 1/2 years) PL2 AFTER 3 1/2 years wanted to see a nutritionist to make sure she was doing it alright..EXCUSE ME.....maybe she should have gone like say after 1/2 year.......MAYBE THIS IS WHY WE HAVE ISSUES!!!!!!

Archie was going to tell her what we really like to eat..............

And I threw in that we love.........TO LIGHTEN HER UP A LITTLE........

So after she read it,PL2 said well??and the Nutritionist said "Well it could be worse... OH THAT IS JUST GREAT..............So she calculated all kinds of stuff and reviewed all kinds of things( including Archies itchys ) and looked at the supplements we were on and came up with a plan.. and on the top of the plan it says ALLERGY AND DIET PLAN...and the diet means as in weight watchers and it is for me...MORTIFIED MORTIFIED......It really isn't too different from PL2 was making but the supplements are different..and she put us on a allergy diet because we are allergic to chicken and meat...CHICKEN AND MEAT!!!!! WHAT ELSE IS THERE!!!!!!! SO they got the official diet in the mail a day or two later...We are having a few small issues with it.....

These are the meats we can have..turkey (miam miam as Faya would say...)

AND QUAIL......

PHEASANT.............

OSTRICH.........

Now PL1+2 have been thinking really really hard,and they just can not remember when they last saw an ostrich locally........... but I digress...we can also have..........

ELK.......

BISON.........

Now PL2 has been thinking very very hard and just can't remember when she last saw any of this stuff in the supermarket,so she emailed the nutritionist to ask her where she might find this.. and PL1 said that he doesn't know if he is going to be able to give us this in the wee morning on an empty stomach( remember all you country folk WE ARE CITY PEOPLE) so PL2 went to our favorite store the PET CABARET and the girls had cans of pheasnt, and some of the other stuff....and then PL2 found some bison meat in the supermarket and she thought it looked like hamberg..until she cooked it.... Archie kept asking her why she had her turtleneck up over her nose..... so she is going to slowly introduce all this stuff to us.... Archie's itchys are much better.... and Pl2 said she knows roast beef is not currently oh the list but it was all she had, and why can't she have dogs that eat chicken, beef and lamb like other dogs,and we said that we don't care what we eat because we love everything and that is the story of our nutritionist.......As for the 23 pounds?Well Archie says I am big boned,and the Nutritionist said that 21 pounds is a good weight for both of us....( Mr Goody 2 shoes) When the nice weather comes I will be in training again so the pounds will shed right off( at least that is what PL2 says about herself all the time...)

As for now I am EXHAUSTED after chewing on my toy.......

And we are going to take a small snooze.......
