Dominoe, the Shih Tzu, came from a rescue
organization. I was his third home in 18 months. When
I went to meet him, he came out of the door with his tail
wagging. I took one look, and it was love at first sight.
He and I are well suited housemates. He sleeps when I
sleep, eats when I eat, walks when I walk. He only barks
in demand of a treat or at other dogs. He has his own toy
basket and goes to daycare at my parents' house each
day, and he seems happier since we have been doing this
the last few years. The homemade diet seems to have
helped his personality issues too. He was grumpy at
times and seemed stressed when he was on dog food. I
can't help but wonder if it is something like a child on
too much sugar.
Dominoe is a very happy dog, but he really doesn't care
much for other dogs except for Wally. He adores Wally.
However, the first time I brought him to meet Wally he
introduced himself by running in and jumping on his
big floppy ear. Wally backed up and looked at him, and
that was it. They have been best friends ever since. When
Wally had surgery once, Dominoe ran in and barked at
him as if to say, "get up, get up." He seemed worried
about his buddy. I think they are so bonded because
they know they were both rescued.
As for Dominoe's review of the meals and treats on this
CD, Dominoe would also give them five stars. He is the
most discriminating of the three. He won't eat just
anything. He has to think it over and smell it and
examine it first.
