Hello everyone, I so miss you guys..I dont know if you remember but I went to digest a few months ago when I decided to try ands witch my house hold over to a raw diet, so I was on the normal lists of a few raw dieter lists.....ANYWAYS...I just wanted to stop in and say Hi, and give my condolences to anyone who has lost a furchild recently (Nina, I think I saw you say you laost Jazz?  Im so sorry you did so much for her)......also to give an update on my newest adventure..raw feeding.....   The dogs were so easy to switch..they just love meal time now..before (during teh kibble age) they got all excited for meal time..then they took a couple bites and then pretty much ignored it...and would go abck and eat it slowly later..NOW?...they adore meal tiem..they eat with vigor, they are so happy, they maintain their own weights, their teeth are CLEAN.,......and getting cleaner...no more bad "doggie breath"  it is amazing!!!!   now to the cats... Spooky (my newest addition..I dont even know if you guys have heard about him or not..he is a black kitten) took right to it..he just dives right into everything...adn he is finally able to eat enough to grow...poor guy was staying small because I couldn't feed him eoungh...now he is still slender but buy is he getting tall!!!   Indy  has been diagnosed with Idiopathic FLUTD from the lovely canned crappy ass Fancy Feast (probally)..anyways the vet wanted him on teh Rx stuff.which he wont eat the science diet..but he will eat teh Royal Canin...BUT I am trying at the advice of other to deal with it naturally..he LOVES teh raw diet and has LOST a ton of weight finally!!! he was up to 20 lbs...now he is down to 11!!!! You woudlnt believe the difference..he is more active..etc..So Monday we have a checkup to recheck his urine to see if he is any better.... Mona...has been a pain to switch...but she is eating well now...I still have to give her some canned to coax her into eating sometimes..but she is also getting along with everyone fairly well now..excpet for Akira..who is my biggest worry of course..but I finally got some Feliway.."I think it is better" but others in teh house holf say no....   and finally Akira..my little FeLV+ girly (for anyone new)   she is doing great...and fairly well on raw..she also has been a bit picky about swtiching over..she eats a few things happily...and now is starting to venture out in her variety.....but unlike Spooky and INdy who will eat off a whole prey item...her and Mona have to have smaller pieces..about teh size of a fist?..or so...ANYWAYS..her classic FeLV related gingivitis is GONE GONE GONE.......her eyes and coat are bright..adn no more GINGIVITIS...YEA YEA YEA....this is the ONE symptom she has always shown persistently of her infection..unfortuantly she IS still positive..But as of now..all her obvious symptoms are gone.....   If anyone is interested in anything I have said about the health benefits of raw..just email me privately so I make sure and get you message!!!!!....I hope everyone is doing well,and please give scritches and scratches to all the furbabies for me!!!!!   Love you guys, Lisa   ps...here are some pics of the kids eating..... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/anzajaguar/album?.dir=7c15&.src="">     Lisa and the furbrats Akira, Indy, Spooky, Mona, Lancelot, Bowtie, Bennie and Anza
