The Big Thaw
After months and months of nothing but snow, we can finally see GRASS again! The big thaw started yesterday and is supposed to continue with highs in the 40's through next week. I cannot tell you how nice it is to see that ugly brown grass again.

They May Be Good For Her...
But that doesn't mean she's going to eat them!
A few months ago we had a big scare with Jolie. She developed an obsession for drinking only water that had ICE CUBES in it. It didn't matter how fresh the water was, if it wasn't iced, she wasn't having it. Which got me thinking that maybe something was wrong with her.
I took her to the vet and it turned out our little Jolie was fine, but a little fat. So I went on the hunt for the best cat food available. You can ask Gregg, I did all sorts of math and made tables that showed all kinds of information that you all likely aren't interested in. I did, however, come up with a winner. Blue Buffalo - Wilderness was BY FAR the best cat food on the market.
It met all the criteria I had after discovering that I had been feeding my baby, essentially, junk food for the past 7 years. The dry food has actual meat, no grain ingredients, and lots of vegetables. She loves this stuff. And at $33 for a small bag, she'd better love it. In fact, I was mixing it half and half for the first two weeks with the "junk" cat food trying to switch her over easily. But she wasn't having it, she would eat just the blue buffalo and leave all of the old food brand behind. After two or so months, she has lost some weight and her fur is SO much smoother, her energy is even up.
I thought this was amazing, I wanted to switch over her soft food that she gets on Wednesday and Sunday to the same brand. Unfortunately, she didn't care for it, so I've been trying to find a healthy alternative by picking up random brands that meet the new standards set by blue buffalo.
Last week I picked up a couple cans from Whole Foods Market and the first was turkey and she devoured it - even all of the sweet potatoes. However, the peas and carrots she didn't enjoy so much. I think she gets this from Gregg. HAHA
Such a picky little thing!
