Rusty, Scott and Food

Rusty and I have too much in common (one reason I cannot give up on the little guy). We both have to pee all the time. We both rock a Scottish plaid. And food affects the hell out of us.

This little graphic is basic and, for those of us with food issues, bullshit. You see, like Rusty, my mood is massively affected by my food intake.

Pasta, pizza or cakes, and my mood tends to go down (or crater with too much) with wheat intake. I don't know exactly what it is, but sourdough bread and flour tortillas don't seem to effect me as much. Bread, in smallish doses is okay too.

But give me a great tasting, lovely pizza (yumm!) and I will be depressed the next day or two.

Rusty is much more dependent on his crappy digestion. I par-boil most of his veg (yams and carrots) so he can eat them. I create a mis with little protein, because his (non)- liver can't handle too much.

So when, like the last 2 days, he craters; Eddie and I have to play the "guess what he ate wrong" game. I think this last round the problem was I was layering home made food on the kibble. And the kibble is much harder for him to digest (which is why I cook his damn food). Taking the kibble out, hopefully will make him feel better.

I will say the well-rounded food that I make for Rusty is much healthier than the food I make for Ed and I. Bt it is also much grosser (a little ground chicken mixed with chopped carrots, yams, green peas with a  mix of sardines in oil to give it a nice stink and Omega 3s).
