New Dog Food for the Kids

okay..took them off their kibble and put them on boiled rice and chicken. The pink vomiting or "spitting", had stopped. I took back the two bags of dog food I recently bought and not used/opened and exchanged it for another brand. Going with Blue Buffalo. So far so good..but too dark outside to see all the "end" results but one had an accident and it was actually formed and dark and didn't have a gaseous smell like they had with the other food. Will update on the dog food later! ttfn

Dog update

All the dogs are now on boiled chicken and rice for the next few days. So far no more frothy pink fluids. Going to be changing their food. ttfn

Willow has the "Bug" don't read if you are eating...

I don't know what is going through the dogs..Started with Cherry Berry...throwing up brown to pinkish/clear liquid. No coughing and she seemed to not be feeling to well for about a day. Cherry is fine now. Then Simba, followed by BB (Willows brother) but they didn't act sick like Cherry. Layah got it next. Hit Willow early this morning, puking over the side of my bed. I really love my two Bissell machines. One for the spots and the other for the whole carpet. They all eat fine. The vomit has no food in it..thick pinkish/clear. Cherry was hit the hardest with the vomiting. From dark brown to the pink color. update: As I type this; Willow is wrestling with BB! Updated again: The dogs had boiled chicken and rice for dinner tonight and will have it for breakfast in the morning. Going to switch their dog food. Not sure if it's their pancreas or an respiratory disease. But the dogs are not coughing and when I listened to their lungs they sounded fine.  ttfn One of the

Clapping

I have been spending as much time as I can, outside with the dogs these past couple of weeks. Enjoying the spring like weather, which according to weather reports will not last for much longer. The bald dogs love the sun and Willow is no exception. Today after our play time, I called the dogs in (really don't have to call most of them...they are my shadows). They all came inside except Willow. She was busy playing in a sunny spot near the shed. Lots of bugs, twigs, leaves to taste. As I walked towards her (her back was to me) I sharply clapped two times. She jerked her head around and looked right at me, wagged her tail and looked into my eyes. I gave her name sign and she came running to me! Then she followed me into the house happily. She can 'hear' some sounds/vibrations maybe? or was is a coincidence which she suddenly realized she was alone and jerked her head to look for someone or did she hear my clap? I am leaning towards hearing the clapping. Now to figure out
