New puppy Ben moves in!!

What happened with Poquita was, we had never had a dog that lived in the house before we got her at age 5 weeks. As the saying goes, it was "like trying to slip daylight past a rooster" to cook anything yummy and not give her any. Her favorites were lasagna, pizza, tacos, pretty much anything with tomato sauce, cheese and meat. She would kill for a pork chop and she never died from chewing up the bone. All was well and the vet just told us to "keep on feeding her whatever it was, because she was doing fine. Until finally her little GI system hit the wall. Then we had to find dog food she would eat and we went through almost everything at PetsMart, wet and dry, trying to find an acceptable alternative to lasagna. Uh...not really happening. The result was something like that screaming dog in the viral video recently. OMG, ear-splitting and unrelenting. Our little 5 lb girl would wear us down from sheer exhaustion. And although she made it to 15.5 years, she was eating spaghetti the last day of her precious little life. And that's why I say, "Never again!" with the people food. Little bits of meat, excluded. Do NOT let your five pound dog bully you into giving her ice cream and black coffee. No, we drew the line at allowing her to smoke cigars, thankfully. She was such a funny little tyrant and oh, how we miss her. Nope, the current two canine residents do not get to eat the Poquita diet. Although Darcy is supplementing with lizards, field mice and unlucky baby birds. Whatcha gonna do?
