    1. Once or twice a year I will have a slice of Chocolate Cake mostly at Christmas but I can pass on all the others. In fact I have been known to chop off the chocolate from box chocolates and just eat the fillings.
      I am a firm believer that we like what is not good for us. We shall see if I start feeling better.

    1. hahahahahaha... so unfair, most of the food I eat has some sort of chili in it.
      oh well, if I feel better it will be worth it.

  5. Hello Gayle:
    This really does sound something of s strict regime for you all. But, as always, prevention is better than cure.

    1. Well over the years I have given up food because of migraines. So this is just another day in my life.

  6. So sorry about Watson. My cat Harley was 16 when he was diagnosed with a disease. I decided not to treat it and he lived two more years. His quality of life was really good (way better than if he to do the treatments). Hope Watson has a great day (and you too!)

  10. Good luck to the three of you with your diets! I know that Cushings can be managed well in horses so I hope it`s the same with square dogs ( who may become round dogs....).

    1. I am hoping too but... I am not really treating the Cushings because of his age and I don't want his last years (?) to be filled with testing. There are problems with the treatment for dogs. Dan sent me a really good link on a very simple treatment that has seem to work. But I am dealing with his Kidneys with his new diet.
