Farting dogs

So, as many of you know, I have had Rudy, my three legged wonder mutt, longer than I have 'had' my husband. I got Rudy from the shelter about 3 months before I 'got' Tom from bachelor land. So, that said, in the 10 years + that Tom and I have known each other, there has always been at least one dog in the picture, almost always more. So, that said, it really is a known fact that if you change the dogs food, you always take a few days to mix it about 50/50 with there old food.

Well, I was at Costco Friday and decided to try something different. We still had about a weeks worth of their usual food, so what the heck, right? I poured the big bag of new food into the food container, tipping it first so all the old food was on one side, so it would be easier to mix the foods at meals. All was great last night, their first 'meal' with their new mixture. Tom fed the dogs both of their meals today, acknowledging the new food but deciding not to acknowledge the necessity of the change over period.

Now, needless to say, Elbert will be sleeping in the sun room, in his crate for the night. We'll be sure not to strike any matches near him because gas fumes are combustible!
