Monday October 22 update
Monday
Anti nausea at 7am pred around 8 am … he went outside when we got up and saw Sasha the dog that lives across from me. He likes her and she likes him - so it's always nice when they get to vista.
He ate a little bit of breakfast, and was not really hungry this morning. Out to work at 9:40am.
I got home around 6:00pm. On my day home I stopped and got beef and liver and two chickens. Cooked up the liver. No go… I tell you, that is one of the most disgusting things! I think I almost barfed while I was cooking it. I am not sure how people eat it... bleah! Charlotte my chihuahua however thought it was yummy, so she got a little bit. She is really starting to get a bit pudgy with all this extra food being offered. She is a little sneak so I have to be sure to pickup whatever Ernie decides he can't eat before she sneaks in and gobbles it up. I gave him anti nausea around 7 and pred around 7:45ish. Cooked up hamburger… he ended up eating some hamburger. Before that I tried cheese. He ate some but was acting lethargic and not really hungry. But he did eat the burger (tiny win). And then I added some fish oil (5 caps) and he did eat most of it w/ rice. Big WIN. We went out to see Sasha and he immediately perked up. And then Katie came out. Katie is a new 10 year old border collie mix that my other neighbors just got. She is very shy and sweet. A perfect match for Ernie :-) He didn’t want to come in but I had to go back to work to pickup an animal at the airport. He ate a bit more and I left him some food.
Got home around 11:15PM and he was facing away from me focused on something. Found out the focus was the cardboard box he was eating. He must have gotten it out of the recylcle bag. I don’t’ know how much he ate, it was from a box of ziplock baggies and half was left. Sigh… he won't eat regular food - but will eat cardboard.
I cooked up some eggs and he scarfed two down. And then when I went into the kitchen to make some more eggs from him, and he snagged my egg and cheese burrito from my plate and tried to eat that! I am glad he is so enthused by food! I made more eggs. He ate two more plus some dog food. He is lying by the door.
I need to go to bed its 12:44am.
