Thanks, yea, her colors really pop when I use a flash or if she's under natural light. Under incandescent light they look dull.

:heart: Oh the cruel and unjust punishment of gazing at such beauty (even before my first cup of morningtea!)


Nike is so gorgeous!
How do you get things done around the house with that huge distraction in your life?

Optical illusion. He's actually 16lbs and this pic makes him look bigger than he is. He's about the size of a cat.

Either an optical illusion or he's straight out of Ant-Man! Lol! Sizes are so disparate in those two pics it hardly looks like the same dog! Lol! Yep, perspective loves to play its tricks!

LOL I love Nikes "hat" Bill :D And it looks like she enjoys the hair dryer too. I GOTTA get one for my kids!
BTW Bill..how's Nike like the chop? I'm thinking of ordering another one. The kids seem to have accepted it finally.

Jim, thanks. If you're referring to the noise in the second video that's not a hair drier, it's a little, noisy fan we have in the corner of the doorway to circulate the heat from the pellet stove.

Nike gets a serving of chop, hydrated with juice (currently cherry), for breakfast daily. I will be ordering more, at least a couple of bags to save on shipping.

I can't tell you how happy I am that I found this stuff. Of course now that's she's eating it I could probably make my own but this is so easy that I'd have to get pretty bored before I go that route.

I'm going shopping tomorrow for chop stuff lol. My market has veggies already pre-chopped/diced...sweet 'tater and cauliflower,different types peppers,brocoli and red cabbage etc..only thing is,even the smallest of bags are too big and stuff spoils too soon. I do love the convenience of the freeze-dried stuff. Don't have to worry about it going bad.
