daddy gave me kibble and scrambled legs for breakfast AND a strawberryberry with gertie – i just love 2 course meals – life is good!!
a few notes from dad – i really wanted to tell you about the dream i had last night about the golden retriever i met on a walk – and i’m telling you – she might be an older girl – but she was hot and her mommy gave me a belly rub but daddy wouldn’t keyboard about the dream i had . . .

Thoughts on what and how much to feed YOUR little guy or gal . . .
Always check with your vet !!!!
Curtis gets just over 1/8 cup of Nutri-Source dry puppy food at about 6am – 10am – 2pm – 6pm – plus or minus every 4 hours – remember thier little tummys are little – far better to give them 4 smaller meals a day than 3 or 2 larger meals . . .
Always check with your vet !!!!
Fruits and veggies are great – the internet is your friend as far as determining what your puppy or doggo can and cannot have – again – any questions or conflicting information – check with your vet!!!
Eggs – scrambled – cooked with the tiniest bit of butter for flavor/smell and a dab of olive oil – use only as much as needed to keep the eggs from sticking in the pan – store in the fridge in an airtight container – then just take about a tablespoon or so of eggs and push them them through a fork with your thumb into the bowl – add kibble and it’s just that simple . . .
Steamed chicken – a great add on – about a tablespoon chopped into tiny pieces . . .
Hamburger and rice – it makes no difference 73% – 80% – simply fry until cooked – not browned but just cooked – then thoroughly rinse under hot water – you’re removing the grease – crumble and put into an airtight container in the fridge – when he gets hamburger – about a tablespoon – he also gets about a teaspoon of steamed rice with it . . .
Always check with your vet !!!!
Now fruits and veggies?
As a stand alone dessert/snack Curtis gets strawberry’s – cantaloupe – apple ( peeled ) – watermelon – all chopped up in kibble sized pieces – try to think in tablespoon serving sizes! – generally with a little bit ( about 1/2 teaspoon ) of non-fat Greek yogurt mixed in – a little bit goes a long way – we are talking a dessert or snack – not a meal . . .
Broccoli – steamed just enough to sorta call it cooked – green beans – again steamed just enough to tell you made an attempt at cooking them – if you do canned green beans use no salt added and rinse multiple times to reduce the sodium levels – carrots – raw or steamed or canned – again rinse any canned veggies multiple times . . .
Always check with your vet !!!!
Doggo’s have an incredible sense of smell – sense of taste? – not so much – so it’s about smell and texture more than taste . . .
Any of the fruits and veggies – eggs – hamburger – if served in the kibble or as a stand alone – should be chopped up to a size no larger than the kibble . . .
Always check with your vet !!!!
Bottom line? A variety of different fruits and veggies are good for your dog – the different smells and textures keep them interested and it’s actually good for them!
Always follow the advice of your vet!!
Curtis – is there anything you would like to add?
Apparently I am going to close this out for him . . .
Bye Bye everybody and send food!!
