41. My hubby watches our goldens weight
Wed Feb 17, 2021, 06:03 PM
Feb 2021

To keep him healthy puts carrots, green beans and celery in food processor and mixes with dog food. We put pieces of real chicken meat on bottom of bowl.

We are retired and trying to keep him healthy knowing it would cost more for him to get sick than us.

We used to give him pieces of our food but he gained weight so we stopped. Our dog is so spoiled with attention, toys, walks, dog park, he has all he needs.

Spends a good part of day on bed in guest room watching hubby on computer or sleeping. 😁
