~*~*~ Toby's 1st Experience with BARF ~*~*~

After much thought and considered, I decided to start feeding Toby BARF. Have decided to stop feeding him kibbles and feed him BARF on weekdays and HCF on weekends... we'll see how things go la... if possible, I will want to switch him to BARF permanently. Hehehe... but that would depend on whether my pocket can tahan or not... have to make sacrifices... :)

Anyway, I ordered Dr B's BARF Diet for Toby and Alfred delivered it on Thur nite... so nice of him to help us pack it individually... :) While he was doing that and talking to us, Toby was busy smelling him and he kept tryin to inch his way closer to see what Alfred was packing. The funny thing was that after all the packing, when Alfred carried his cooler and was about to leave, Toby started barking at him as though Alfred was stealing away his food! Hahaha... He only stopped when we showed him that his patties were still on the floor.

Anyway this is how the packaging of Dr B's BARF Diet looks like:



I ordered the Beef and Kangaroo Recipe this time... next round will probably try the Lamb and maybe Chicken or Pork... :) Kekek... apparently, the Lamb recipe is the best seller. Was asking Alfred when the promo would end and he mentioned that it's until the current stock lasts. After that prices would revert to the original ones. *peNgz* We were telling him that he should consider coming up with some promotion or some kind of benefits for customers who would be buying from him in the long run. Then more attractive... consumers always like it when there is a bargain or promotion... hehehe... :)

A compartment in our freezer is now reserved for Toby's BARF! This used to be the compartment where i stashed my ice-creams and Yammi Yougert... now everything's been cleared away and this area is now officially Toby's BARF Room! =Þ


To the Left are the Kangaroo patties and to the Right are the Beef patties.

I was discussing with Serene a few days back and decided to start putting Toby on BARF on 1 March, which is today!!! :) Easier to keep track this way. I've also decided to feed him 1/2 a patty per meal. Serene was saying the Ebi started his on 1 Jan and since then, there has been quite alot of difference within 2 months... in terms of his stool and coat color. I'm hoping that Toby would benefit from this diet as well and I'm hoping to see some difference in a month or so =Þ Noticed that his S&P coat is getting lighter n lighter although the shin is still there. Hopefully his coat will get darker in time to come... *keep my fingers crossed* :)


Woke up this morning and prepared his breakfast... Toby was rather excited when he saw me takin a patty out from the freezer... heheh... so I decided to let him smell it 1st since he seemed like he was going to have some form of attack if he didn't get to smell it.



While i was preparing his meal, Toby kept pacing up and down... in and out of the kitchen... one minute sitting on the floor mat, the next minute walking to stand next to me and another minute going back to where Garry was seated at the dining table, repeating all 3 actions again n again...



This is how his Beef patty looks like... soakin it in warm water before feeding it to him...



Heheh... look at his face wor... frowning and looking so sad... it's as if he's saying "Huh!?! Still can't eat yet?"



Took a video of him gettin all excited when evything was ready for him to eat and the process of hw fast he finished his 1/2 patty... kept licking his bowl even though it was already spotless... Greedy boy sia... will figure out how to load it here... :)

Will be going out after our Part-time cleaning auntie leaves around 4pm. This is her 2nd session with us... Mr Lee said to monitor her performance for about a month before we decide if we should stick to her permanenetly or go thru the agency to get a proper one. Meeting Esther, David and Priya at Compass Point at 5.30pm to take the LRT to Angie's. It's Nicky's Baby Shower today!!!! So fast 1 month liao... Woo hoo... can wait to see him again and hopfully carry him too. hehehe... Haf lots to gossip with Angie as well :) After that we'll probably pop over to Hougang since we're not going back tmw. Be good ah little Nicky... dun cry when Auntie Rachel carry you later... :)
