lessons from Helen

Helen, our blind dog, has led me down many paths since we rescued her 3 years ago...despair, anger, joy, quiet reverence, etc. In an attempt to get her more settled, I recently have been working with Linda Farris who had some great observations about Helen. She suggested using Urban Wolf dog food to get Helen's stomach and general disposition on some kind of even keel. OK, it's more work than I would normally spend on feeding dogs (Helen is 1 of 4 dogs), and I can't just treat one dog without treating all!! So, I'm mixing this soupy goop about every other day...but...
The results have been fairly remarkable. I believe that Helen always had a stomach ache because of the grain in her normal food...
She's still a tough customer, but she's feeling better, her coat is soft and silky. She is much more patient with my inconsistencies. She still knows when 4:30 feeding time is, and she's pretty rigid about her daily routine. Her internal clock is impeccable! In addition, she's lost some weight!
Our next move is to an Evo no grain dry food to see if that will work. We are keeping the habit of adding water to all the dogs dishes to make sure kibble is very moist and soft before they eat.
Wish me luck!
