January 19-25

My sweet dog, Sadie, has been sick this past week. 

It started out with her throwing up and then diarrhea. I took her food away for a day and then fed her a bland diet. She has been eating plain rice and boiled chicken. She seems to be happy with that. She is still not back to “normal” but she is energetic and happy. She argues with me about wanting her regular dog food. Sometimes she even pouts! So funny! I’ll keep her on the bland diet for another day. If she’s not better in a few days, I’ll take her to the vet. I feel sure she has eaten something that disagreed with her. Silly dog!

I wonder if it wouldn’t just be better to make her food all the time instead of processed food. That’s something to think about. I don’t think it would be any more expensive. 

We have had bitter cold these past several weeks with temps in the teens. This week coming promises warmer weather and rain. It should be highs in the 50s/60s. That will be nice. 

I planned meals for the coming week:

Sunday - cabbage and sausage

Monday - grilled chicken, green beans

Tuesday- chili beans

Wednesday- chicken salad/wraps

Thursday - homemade mini pizzas

Friday - leftovers

I don’t plan side dishes because it just the two us. I might make some macaroni and cheese to go with the cabbage. I might make cornbread to go with the chili beans; or, we might just eat what we have. Neither one of us are big eaters since having Covid twice.
