ON THE BACK BURNER

 I know better. When changing your dogs food, you are supposed to do it slowly, so they can adjust to the change. Even knowing that, I just gave Dixie a whole portion of her new food. No preliminary introduction. Just dumped in the whole amount. What was I thinking. The shelves have been empty of her favorite food, so I bought some refrigerator food. The ingredients look wholesome and she  ate it with relish. And then we both suffered. Poor baby. I walked her at 1 AM, then off and on the rest of the next day. I did get to see into a neighbors house because her blinds were up and her TV room was ablaze with lights and the largest TV  set that I have ever seen in a private home. That was interesting. Then for the rest of that night, Dixie's stomach made noises that were alive .The poor baby was limp for the rest of the following After a suitable length of time, and her stomach was now quiet, I gave her scrambled eggs and rice. After a second feeding of eggs and rice, she is back to her low energy self and feeling much better. Tomorrow, she gets a tablespoon of her new food. This time, I will do it the right way. I learned my lesson and hopefully, she will forget what I did to her.
