Dog food expenses

I never thought I wouldl go grocery shopping just for dogs, but today I did just that. We stocked up on pink salmon, ground beef, white rice and other goodies just for the dogs. We haven't even gone people grocery shopping yet!

Brie, my newest and littlest Alaskan Husky, is so thin, we're taking a break from running today. I offer her food four times a day in an effort to help her gain weight. I bought her a sherpa jacket today too because she's so thin, I worry about her outside in temperatures now that they've dropped.

Some may say I spoil my dogs. But I think this is how trust is developed between my dogs and me. If they know they can count on me to take excellent care of them, then I'll know I can count on them this winter. Maybe I run my kennel program differently than others, but this is what is important to me.
