In memory of Kimo...

Dogs have been part of my family since I was 8 years old.  All kinds, all sizes, all different personalities.  I believe that a dog comes into your life to provide what is missing. 

At the point in my life when Kimo came home, I was working from home and was able to be with him practically 24/7.  He became my constant companion and eventually my supervisor, always telling me what to do.  This was a very new kind of dog-relationship for me. 

Things changed economically and I decided to take a temporary job for the paycheck.  This left Kimo with just Happy (our other dog) to keep him company.  I had just changed his diet to the raw, Primal brand and because of my work schedule, was not able to pick it up from the vet during her business hours.  (way back then no retail store carried this brand).  In a quandry, I asked her what to do.  She said, "cook! for Kimo!"

So I did, following her basic instructions of proportions--1/3 animal protein, 1/3 veggies and 1/3 carbs.  He loved it!  His coat became shiny and silky, and best of all, the 'doggie smell' disappeared.  It was the 'dog food' that caused his smell.  For this reason alone, I adamantly tell anyone who will listen, "don't give your dog that smelly cheap stuff!  Can you imagine if we ate like that? 

I told my friends who have dogs and many got great results--one had a chronic skin problem, seemed allergic to everything.  It completely cleared up within 2 weeks of her cooking for him.  Another was a fussy little eater, now she enjoys her meals!
