Good Morning, Everyone, Happy Saturday,

Rusty ate all his nighttime food, but I think he ate most of it close to when the alarm rang. He is not liking the "American" Wellness and hardly touched his breakfast--even the FF T&G side of his bowl. I may have to return my 2 cases of Wellness. In the meantime I may go up to Plattsburgh to see if they have cans from the Canadian Wellness plant.
In general it's been a pretty good morning. Rusty had a good test, shot, basically ignored his breakfast (maybe he'll eat it later), good schmooze, good "lung treat", a nap in his little bed by the radiator.

We got another 2 inches of snow last night. But it is warmer than yesterday and the wind has that "March-wind" feel to it. I like to read a wonderful poem, "Vorfrühling" (early Spring, or "pre" Spring) by Hugo von Hofmannsthal at this time of year. It begins: "The spring wind wafts through empty streets. Strange things are in its blowing. . ." Great atmosphere (not so much in my translation, however!)

Tonight is "Earth Hour" (turn off your lights from 8 P.M. to 9 P.M. to show concern and support for Mother Earth). We had friends over for candlelight dessert last year, but this year the date snuck up on me and we didn't have time to prepare. So we'll just celebrate by ourselves.

Everyone enjoy the weekend,

Ella & Rusty

Morning Ella ~O) ~O) ~O)

nice amps Rusty, but DUDE! You got to eat your fuds.... come on now - it's good! It is interesting that the kitties notice a difference in the two: American vs Canadian. I should look and see what it is that we have, as some days Mannie won't eat it either. :shock:

I like your poem. what great atmosphere - that is a good word choice: atmosphere. Nice on your snow! Believe it or not, we had some yesterday morning too... I am so done with winter though: bring on spring! :-D

THX too for the reminder on earth hour.

Have a good day today guys - I hope it is enjoyable.

Good Morning Ella

Hey Rusty, sorry you don't like this fud, but mamabean's gonna fix that and get the good stuff for ya.

Ella, I had to track down the English translation of that poem. It's lovely. :smile:
I will think of you, and Hugo von Hofmannsthal, when the scent of lilacs blows through my windows, in early Summer.
I've always feared wind. I see it differently now.
 
Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130

Rusty, buddy, let's head to the lagoon! Great idea! I haven't been there too much lately. ~Z

Yes, it's hard to take March snow seriously. :lol: Translations are difficult, if not impossible.

Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130

Good morning Ella (or afternoon to you now). Good luck getting the Canadian fuds for Rusty. A very nice start for him, I hope he'll see the lagoon shortly.

Thanks for the reminder on Earth Hour - it's not well advertised around here.
 
Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130

good day Ella
 
Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130

I hope Rusty slides down to green for you today. Hopefully he'll decide he likes the American Wellness so you don't have to return it.
 
Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130

Rusty is looking good today. Is he headed to the lagoon? Tess is waiting for him wearing her deep sea diving gear :roll: . Good that his breathing is clearing up.

Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130, +5.5 122, +10 84

Hi again,
I'm just back from Plattsburgh with a bunch of 3-oz cans of the Canadian Wellness (but there were also a lot of USA 3-oz cans, much to my dismay, since I thought all the 3-oz. cans came from the Canadian plant). I wonder if a change is afoot? Before I left I decided to try Rusty on a can of the new Newman's Own Organics grain-free 96% turkey that I bought last week. It, too, has a "fluffy" texture (even fluffier than the USA Wellness; it was like mousse!). Rusty ate a couple of licks and walked away. So much for that (in any event, I was unable to find out the carb. %, so I can cross Newman's Own Organics grain-free off my list). So he ate FF T&G for lunch.

The LagoonMeister is in residence in the lagoon!! (probably because he didn't eat much today; but he is hungry now and just had a snack of FF T&G at +10.

bbl. Gotta get out the candle lanterns for Earth Hour and make dinner.

Hi Ella. Nice to see Rusty at the Lagoon. Have a nice time this evening.
 
Re: 3/23 Rusty AMPS 130, +5.5 122, +10 84

Nice looking run today!

I agree with you... I think the food companies are shifting gears ... and maybe in a good way with all the new grain free push.
I'm sure hoping we'll get some new choices and of course, that they will give us the as fed numbers....

I've told a few about this one...
There are new foods this week by Nutro. I was so happy with one of the old ones... 6% carbs Nutro Natural Choice Mature Health Chicken & Turkey Formula chunks in gravy at 204 phosphorus...

it's gone... but I talked to a customer rep yesterday... and she said she was calculating the carbs from the as fed numbers...
I would prefer someone here do that to believe it ... but she was claiming the new ones were very low carbs.... nutro senior line and if they stay in line with the old one above... I hope they will be low phosphorus.
My phone died so I didn't get to finish the conversation.
 
Hi again,
I never did get back to the Board tonight. After Earth Hour we watched "Argo" on a Netflix DVD. Exciting.

Rusty had a good day.

Hope all is well in LL. Ni Ni. See you tomorrow,

Ella & Rusty
 
So nice to see Rusty back at the lagoon and having great numbers!

I saw your post yesterday about trading foods since I have the Canadian ones but I only have about 16 cans of the WN turkey which I think is what he likes? If you do want to do it, PM me. :-D

Sleep well!
