Mindy did "sit!" Woo-hoo! I've been taking all 5 dogs and doing a round of "sit" every once in awhile in the house (with treats of course) and this evening, Mindy did it with everyone else! Baby steps....
Tonight's meal was beef heart, chicken necks, and some beef kidney. Gone in no time, along with the evening pill for Mindy (I've been putting them in ground pork and making a "ball" out of if - she inhales it without even thinking about it!). Jim took our guys out this evening to play when he got home but Maya and Mindy were content to stay in the house with me while I processed the rest of the meat I got at the meat market today. I have plenty of chicken necks and leg quarters, and the beef heart should last a few days at least. I don't like to give kibble at night because it increases water consumption and in turn, the need to pee. Back on them not going outside with him though, I think it's enough for now that we work on staying with me (and recall when necessary) and getting meat on them. I figure they'll feel like doing other things more when they're full more often. And Mindy still gets winded if we run around too much outside (if it was pneumonia that she had/has, that'll take it right out of you). That said, what with her appetite and all, I would say she's definitely feeling better. And could there be just a smidge more padding around their rib cages and backbone???? I want to think there is....
Not too much tonight. The girls are definitely feeling more at home - they didn't budge when I was using the vacuum sealer for the meat in the kitchen, or when I was pounding with the cleaver on the chicken. I will add that neither of them were fond of me going after the flies in the house with the flyswatter yesterday. Not minding as much today though. More tomorrow....
