A week and a half ago we had snow, followed by a beautiful weekend in the low 70s, then a couple of days where it was almost 90. Sunday was almost 90 and felt so hot-but 24 hours later it was snowing in the Southern California desert. Talk about wacky weather.
The border collies LOVE the snow, it makes them WILD, but it gets pretty muddy ;-).
A FAVORITE SUBJECT OF THE BORDERGIRLS: FOOD!!!!
I wanted to post a quick review of a dry food -Origen. Some of you may remember Cricket was having trouble handling a different dry food I was using-I posted why that food disappointed me so thought I would post a review of a food that I LOVE. My dogs love eating it-it is the only food my holistic vet carries. http://www.orijen.ca/orijen/about/ The web site says they use free range poltry and free range red meats, so while it may be more expensive then some foods-the quality of the ingredients sure seems to be there.
I used to only be able to get this food when I went to my vets office but have been getting it from Mr. Chewey by mail order now-which sure makes it easier to use it. I use Origen kibble for agility or trick training-that leaves things like steak, fish or meat treats for when I really need something high value and new for really distracting situations. The first time my dogs tasted this food they spit it out, but then after a few tries they are WILD about it. They like it enough that it is the main training treat I use. I am not sure why it took a time or two for them to get used to the taste-maybe because it is not a doggie junk food? I do know the dogs REALLY love the taste now. If you get a sample and try some of the dogs aren't sure about the first taste-- try it again ;-). I like that it is low on the glycemic index and I really like the quality of ingredients. This is where I have ordered my food from:
