"Tyler down"
Rusty
said.
They had to wait at the pharmacy.
|
|
|
"Smile for Mom!" Rusty
said to get a good picture.
|
|
|
Tyler's fan club went
by praising his handsome good looks.
|
|
|
Tyler enjoyed waiting
at Costco because the floors were cool and very
clean.
|
|
|
Uh oh!
"Shoppers behind you Tyler!"
|
|
|
Tyler, you see, is
a service dog
Its his job to keep his master balanced at all
times. So his human doesn't have PTSD and think he's
back in Patton's Third Army fighting the Battle of
The Ardennes.

Waiting in the
checkout line.

"Watch out! Fan club
approaching at 8 o'clock!"
Rusty alerted Tyler.
|
|
|
"Good boy! No eat
Costco shoppers!"
Rusty reminded his canine friend.

Eddie
was one of the many nice Costco helpers.
Yes, those ribs really are for Tyler. He eats raw
meat. Rusty cuts the pork ribs up into 3/4 lb to 1
lb portions that are frozen in freezer bags. That
kills parasites, bacteria, etc. - then thawed out
for feeding.
Uncooked bones like these are soft enough for Tyler
to consume. Its how dogs ate for thousands of years
before people mixed waste animal products with corn
to make "dog kibble."
Tyler still eats dry dog food - kibble - but mixed
with raw ground sirloin. Two 1,000 mg omega 3 fish
oil capsules are added. He also dines on microwaved
eggs, cottage cheese, canned sardines, raw liver,
and canned salmon.
Interestingly he "self regulates" his diet- often
not finishing the entire portion put out for him.
Other nights he devours it all and asks for more.
I just feed him at night, once a day, plus training
treats (string cheese) in the afternoon.
Tyler was a happy, well behaved boy. He liked
Costco.
"Go shop Costco!"
was always a
welcomed command.
