Orijen 6 Fish & Lamb & Acana Okanagan Apple AND Fish oil Supplement!

Acana Okanagan Apple is finally in Texas!
We have been reading about Acana Okanagan Apple since last year, the ingredient list fitted what we wanted for TOto but one of the originial ingredient is not approved in USA. And after repackaging, it is finally here. We have to go out of our usual route to get them.
COMPOSITION Dehydrated lamb (27%), deboned lamb (15%), steel-cut oats, peas, whole apples (10%), whole potato, sunflower oil, oat flakes, lamb liver (3%), sun-cured alfalfa, whole pears, algae meal (source of DHA, EPA), pea fiber, sweet potato, pumpkin, butternut squash, parsnips, carrots, spinach, cranberries, blueberries, kelp, chicory root, juniper berries, angelica root, marigold flowers, sweet fennel, peppermint leaf, lavender, rosemary, plus premium vitamins and minerals.

ANALTICAL CONSTITUENTS Crude protein (min.) 25 %
Now he is on 50-50 mix of both kibbles.
Unlike the other grain-based kibbles;  Acana Okanagan Apple aren't as grainy. It is almost as compact as Orijen 6 fish and smaller in size too which will be perfect for smaller dogs. TOto is a lazy dog, he prefer smallers kibbles or biscuits. He will refused biscuit that are too big, and I have to break them to smaller pieces for him.
Left : Orijen 6 fish, Right :  Acana Okanagan Apple
As compared,  Orijen 6 fish kibbles has a smoother surface.

We topped TOto's kibbles with Stella and Chewy; 'All-natural frozen and freeze-dried raw pet food' for dogs. THIS is very expensive, so we use them sparingly, hahaha!

Nancy Cultured low fat Cottage Cheese is a STAPLE.
This helps with his tummy and gives TOto firm firm poop with its LIVE CULTURE!
Recently TOto has been waking up in the middle of the night @4am, and scratching himself relentlessly. We really do not know what to do and we took a risk and give him ONE Fish Oil Capsule every dinner. 
And the effect is very obvious, by the 2nd night he stops waking up and scratching himself. 

Even Hubs can see the result and was really amazed.
And we are lucky this is on discount at GNC, only USD9.99 for 360 capsule!
So this is TOto's dinner
One very OBVIOUS reaction from TOto that he loves Acana Okanagan Apple, he didn't pick out his Wellness Simple kibbles and place them on the floor. He has this bad habit of picking out a few Wellness Simple kibbles when he starts his dinner, so weird.

Now he just gobbles everything down.

TOto's Report : A day in DayCAMP

Today TOto jolted up by the word, "DAYCAMP"!
TOto jumped UP, shake-shake and is all prepare to go BUT mammeee says I have to finish my breakfast before I can go! And then, TOto have to wait for Daddeee washup! Daddeee always VERY slow! Daddeee took his OWN SWEET time to washup and change, rawwwrrr ...
Today TOto see (*)Girlfriend's staff, so happy!
GOsh, TOto sooooooooooo LATE! Party already start without TOto! 

The new daycamp ROCK! They have a MIXED CAMP; BIG dogs and small Dogs play together. TOto happy! TOto loves; Huskies, German Shepards, and Goldendoodle! 

TOto's new best friend is here today!
TOto and Z'ryn wrestle the whole day, TOto am the overall CHAMPION.
Mammeee will be so PROUD of TOto!
Mammeee and Dadddeee came late to fetch me, TOto am always the last to go home.
TOto so hungry but TOto have to be BATH and then sit pretty BEFORE I can eat!
Don't know what Mammeee thinking!
Today is TOto's Happiest day!

*One of TOto's girlfriend staffs from previous Camp was transferred here, and TOto regconised her immediately and gotten used to the camp just because of her. We are lucky because the previous few times we brought TOto, he is so reluctant to go into camp with the staffs in this current Camp.

TOto's Report : Cold, brrrrr ...

Today is so cold, like 40F!
And, TOto just want to lie here on mammeee big fat thigh and rest ...

TOto's Report : Just a LAZY SUNDAY!

*STRETCHIEEEeeee*
"Mammeee now is what time?"
"WHAT 9AM!"
*YAwwwnnnnn*
*...NNnneeeeeeee*
"What smile?"
"Mammeee now is 9AM, give it a rest! GO BACK to sleep!"
"TOto need to snooze for another 15minutes."

I can't SEE!

TOto decides he wants mammeee's attention, walked up and sat on my lap and decides not to move his butt. OR maybe he wants to see why I rather stare at my laptop than giving him my attention!

BUT I can't see the screen if he sit there and I cannot do anything!
Attention SEEKER!

TWO years ago ...

2 years ago @ Denver...
We made 1 phone call, Maximillion was just born a day before we call.

When we saw him, it was LOVE at first sight.
 After patiently waiting for 8 weeks, we drove 8 hours to Kansas for him. 
We don't want him to be traumatized by flying at 8 weeks old ...
When I held him in my arm, I can feel the connection immediately and knew we will be connected this way for the rest of our life. 
TOto was covered in a blankie and slept in my arm all the way home. 
We only have to stop once for him to do his business. 
He was only 4lbs then ...
Finally when he is home, he fit just right in ...
And I know then TOto is the missing piece in our life.

We are finally a family unit.

Happy 2nd Birthday
