Buzz at the Kennel

I can't always take Buzz with me when I travel, so sometimes he goes to the kennel. He goes to a really nice place out in the country and the people there always remember him and smile and give him cuddles.

Last week was the first time that I had to kennel Buzz since switching him to raw food. Getting all of his meals ready was quite a task! The kennel owners weren't going to be able to supervise him in the same way that I do, so I didn't feel comfortable giving them any bones to feed him. Buzz has yet to have a choking problem of any kind, but why tempt fate?

Anyway, I bought some premade raw that contained ground bones and organ meat. Buzz ate the premade patties as his dinner. His breakfasts consisted of muscle meat as usual, but I diced them up into very small pieces rather than leaving them whole.

I had to bag everything and label it with instructions and feeding times. It was quite the process!


Buzz volunteered to help. He even somehow draped this tea towel over his back. It made me think of the Big Bad Wolf putting on Red Riding Hood's Grandmother's clothes...Buzz trying to pass himself off as the sous-chef when really he just wants to eat all the food!


Buzz did really well at the kennel--as usual, the little champ--and the owner said "Buzz you eat better than I do!" I will post the dog portions of my trip soon!

Kenneling and snoozing

Buzz was in the kennel for 24 hours while I went to see my cousin in Holland, Michigan. He did great! The kennel worker said he was good the whole time. He wasn't noisy, he ate his meals with glee and walked nicely on the leash for them! He was happy to see me when I picked him up, but not TOO happy (which I took as a good sign, he wasn't deperate to leave!)

On the way home from the kennel we stopped at the park and he played with other dogs for about an hour.



Once we got back to the house he took a HUGE nap and asked for lots of cuddles.
