Lacey doesn’t care for these treats for some reason

Feeding Lacey grains
For the longest time,I’d feed Lacey a minimal of up to 3 grains because that’s what her body would handle.Though recently I have noticed that even if you feed her some treats with even one grain(no specific grain in particular) that her vulva has been getting red even if you break it into the smallest pieces so to be safe than sorry I am going to eliminate all grains even in dry food,can food and treats.She will be on a absolutely 100% grain free diet on dry food,can food,and treats unless I start to see more reactions from her body.
Lace gets excited for raw!
So tonight it just so happened we didn’t really have a whole lot of chicken(cooked/baked) for her to eat besides mushroom chicken which we had made with cream of chicken with herbs instead of regular cream of chicken(by the way made by campbells)which she doesn’t care for as much as the regular cream of chicken,so we tried to give her BBQ chicken which she turned her head away from…I had taken out frozen raw(Nature’s Variety Instinct Chicken Frozen Raw) and unthawed it as one option,I have the can food that was frozen unthawing for tomorrow should she choose to eat it and we also had some frozen raw meat(beef) in the freezer so we took some out,waited for it to unthaw,now once the raw meat was unthawed we fed it to Lace which she responded with a such exciting wag of her tail and she excitedly ate a good amount.Very surprsingly she remembers what raw meat is and she loves it.The first time I fed her raw meeat she didn’t get excited at all.In fact she was trying to figure out if she could actually eat the raw chunks of meat which she did eat once she knew she could eat it.After she ate her raw meat,minutes later she went over to her puppy pad and made a nice firm piece of bm.The best thing about feeding raw meat is not only do dogs love it & I actually encourage owners to feed raw over cooked meat if you can or even dog food but bowels and health benefits are just as good.
In case anyone wanted to know my prefereance when it comes to diet for a dog(Large,medium or small)
1)Raw Meat
2)Frozen Raw made by several dog food companies
3)Freeze Dried Raw made by several dog food companies
(Dogs who have tear stains I encourage raw meat or Nature’s Variety Instinct Frozen/Freeze Dried Raw with Apple Cider Vinegar)
4)Dehydarated Raw made by several dog food companies
5)Can Food(High Quality)
6) Lastly dry food
Lacey has her dental cleaning today

Lacey’s latest adventure
Lacey’s latest adventure was when she went to the drs office while mom and dad went to the dr and there were many people telling her she was cute..well one lady wanted to play with her but pup was not so welcoming because the lady had gloves on her hand so when the lady picked her up to carry her the poor thing was shaking….After we went down to Hawaii Kai all the poor thing did was go into her “whimpy whimp” routine where she would just whimper,whimper and go to the door.Thought she had to go pee but she didn’t.After we left Hawaii Kai she stopped.I think she felt insecure when the lady with the gloves picked her up.It was a new experience for her.
By the way Lace is doing great.She’s healthy and is ready to celebrate Christmas….
Lacey’s review on Solid Gold Sun Dancer
Lacey loves the Solid Gold SunDancer.She has eaten it several times on her own since we bought it.Her poops are exccellent on Solid Gold SunDancer.One of her newer favorites.
Lacey goes to Queen Emma Summer Palace for the very first time
Today,Lacey went to Queen Emma Summer Palace for the very first time.She walked there on her leash as it’s only a few minutes from where we live.She was very submissive today.She listened very well,walked nicely and laid down on the cement while we were at the Queen Emma Summer Palace.Some people greeted her and she laid there on the cement at Queen Emma Summer palace as if she was at home wagging her tail with a big smile on her face and her tongue sticking out a bit…Who can resist a face like that??She jumped up at a few people who she knew it was okay to jump up at them after she won their approval to do so but she knew not to do it right away.While listening to the Royal Hawaiian Band she put her rear to the cement and sat there while I listened to the band play while holding her leash…She was a saint…If she could be this submissive all the time that would be nice!
Primal Frozen Raw vs Nature’s Variety Frozen Raw
So tonight Lacey Princess ate her very first meal of Nature’s Variety Frozen Raw & I was so excited to see her,actually attempt to eat a frozen raw food on her own…She ate almost one mendallion after I broke it up into two pieces.When asked if she was done she backed away from the frozen raw,told her come to me and asked her”Did you enjoy it???”and in response she very slowly started wagging her tail!I remember when I tried to get her to eat Primal Frozen Raw!She’d rather starve than eat it!
Latest Lacey update
Lacey’s continuing to do well…The latest news is that she got a new carrier..a red one made by Fashion Pet…It’s a bit taller than her pink one(don’t know the brand) and is a lot more roomier so she likes to put her head inside a lot of the time…It keeps her secure doing the car rides unlike the pink one she was able to get in and out quickly and therefore a lot of the time she was out of her carrier other than when we put her inside…

She also has a new “matting spray” called BioGroom Coat Polish Sheen…It works very well…Compared to her previous matting spray made by Gold Medal Pets and it didn’t work as well as BioGroom to say the least..At times we had to use scissors to cut off a mat…The spray was “cold” to pup so she wouldn’t stay still half of the time…
BiGroom Review
While they have the ingredients on their website I was very disappointed that it was not on the bottle…Still regardless…the spray is really like a little mist…Apparently does not feel “cold” to pup when I spray the mat becauase overall she stays very still most of the time til the mat is easily taken out by the spray..Even the biggest mats that you’d think you’d use scissors with BioGroom I have never used a spray or really a brush except to brush some fur away from the matted area…Really all I have done is spray the matted area,moist/saturate it and work with my fingers..Never had to use scissors!
We don’t post as often as before since her health is generally a lot better but will post updates from time to time!
Lacey Princess is celebrating her 2nd anniversary of being home with the family
Today marks the second anniversary of the day we brought Lacey Princess home from Kailua.While she has certainly has had her challanges between then and now…today she’s doing wonderfully and healthwise is doing fantastic…..Most health issues have been limited since about last March..The rest were very minor including dental cleanings,rabies vaccines…no vaccines from January 2011,no Revolution from Feburary 2011..We are very grateful & thankful to have her,Lacey Princess,who was a scrawny little girl when she was 4 months and 4 days old,weighing in at about 4 pounds 3 oz.She’s a joy to have & an excellent watch dog.Looking forward to another pawesome year with her.She will get some treats from Hawaii Doggie Bakery to celebrate!
Oh,I should add Lacey has tried the Addiction Can Food(Buffalo flavor) and she loves it!This time she has shown a different reaction than with most can food.Yesterday,she stuck out her tongue and curled it before sticking it in her mouth.She did that twice!I gave her a small amount and she absolutely loved it!Gobbled it up without a thought!Best of all…it’s grain free…uses very very little veggies/fruits and the rest is all vitamins/minerals…Bowels in case anyone is wondering is overall good and firm.
On a sad note:Lace was at house for one of Ma’s real estate companies’ properties with us when we spotted a dog who did not have his collar..so we had put Lacey’s collar on….the dog approached and for a while was friendly but something got the dog mad so he started biting Lacey Girl….Pa broke the two up..Checked Lacey Girl over and she was fine…but if she had gotten hurt at all..I am pretty sure we could have filed a complaint with the humane society…Poor thing…was very frightened and held on to me tightly as I carried her…Her heart was racing…Took her on a walk later after we went home & while she’s usually very well behaved on walks(on leash of course~)this time,a dog she knows well…she has became very intimidated & unsure if she could trust this dog(chihuahua female who she sees often) and did get dog aggressive for a second but once I told her to be nice she calmed down right away….
