Sometimes You Just Have To Be Gross... Sorry

(I give you warning.... if you have a weak stomach or are sensitive to all things disgusting then you may want to forgo reading this post!)

Our old dog has been giving us trouble for months.... every so often she will have a period of time when her gaseous bowls rear their ugly head by clearing a room in less than 10 seconds flat! I have put her problem down to age and an inability to deal with some types of food. We have been trying to see if her problem stems from what she has been eating and this is not easy since most dogs will have trouble whenever there is a change in their diet. But quite honestly the last food that we have been trying is the worst to date. She is not any less energetic but when her bowls gurgle I know that I have to get her out in short order!

Yesterday our wee dog came into the house and ooh la la... the hum was just plain nasty..... so with a clothes pin attached to my olfactory protuberance, I tackled one of the nastiest jobs ever. I don't have a weak stomach at all, but that butt cleaning job put even my hurling urges to the test. So you can imagine my dismay when the wee pooch entered the house this morning with once again the same problem attached to his hind quarters. Hubby took pity on me and cleaned the horror from the wee pooch's bum and gave me a reprieve, but I am seriously disturbed with what is happening in the canine end of our family.

The current dog food that we are using is Purina Dog Chow dry dog food. I think I will visit the deep freeze today and see if I can find some old deer meat from last year's kill and see if they do any better with that stuff. One thing is for sure... there will be no more Purina Dog Chow in this house.

You have to wonder what the dog food companies put into dog food when your animals are experiencing such horrible results. It can't be nice to have your stomach gurgling and growling all the time and what those poor dogs are suffering when they go out the door and out of my sight.... well I wouldn't want to be them that is for sure. Poor dogs.

So I'm sorry about being gross but when you run a farm sometimes gross things happen... and I guess this is one of them.
