Baileys' Entry: Nature's Variety Instinct or Wellness Core?

Mummy's still thinking of putting us on BARF but because we have a really inquisitive (by that I mean KPO!) baby prowling around our bowls and eating area constantly, mummy dares not put anything raw within her reach. She's afraid of Salmonella. We don't know who Salmonella is but she does sound pretty.

A closer match to why people feed raw food to their beloved K9s, that's in kibbles form, would be:

1. Nature's Variety:

2. Wellness Core:

There are more grain-free food out in the market but the more mummy reads on, the more confused she gets. She no longer has time to cut and paste all nutritional information onto spreadsheet to make proper comparisons. The little monster comes and distracts her, so the next time she goes back to where she left off, she realises she's lost.

We would love to help put our paws where mummy last read while she attends to the attention seeking mini-human but both of us won't fit onto a chair. It's not like the laptop was on the floor like it was in the past.

So, with the help of this: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/index.php, she has shortlisted the abovementioned brands. She saw them rated "6 stars" and thought she need not go any further.

Problem is, mummy's more keen on getting us Nature's Variety but for the past couple of days researching online, she's not been able to find a store that seems to carry that brand, at least not the Instinct line of Nature's Variety. Even most online stores that carry them are out of stock.

Anyway, to have our food come from online, mummy doesn't feel too secured too.

She sees that Petco, a pet store that's not too far away from us, does carry Wellness Core. Hmm, we smell new food coming!

Oh ya, about Lambert Park, Papa's been trying to bring us for a trip down to the park weekly.

We've gone 2 weeks back on Saturday and should have gone on Sunday too. Papa had a soccer game with his friends 2 Sundays back. All of us did not remember if there was a place for mummy and mini-human to sit near the soccer pitch and it looked like it was going to rain, so mummy decided to stay home with us while papa goes enjoy himself.

It's sad to report that, there was a rest area for spectors, and it did not rain that day. -____-"

For the whole of last week, we've been waiting and waiting for weekends to come so that we could go to the park. And of all days, IT HAD TO RAIN, ON BOTH DAYS OF THE WEEKENDS! Not the whole day ok? It rained in the evening, when it's the best time for a good evening stroll at a lovely park!

What do we all do then? We all go into hibernation...



Sigh...what to do? We can only look forward to this coming weekend and pray it doesn't rain. Not in the evening please...Meanwhile, we can continue to get excited at the thought of new food. hehe.

Mummy's little babies thought hard at ......
