Similar to plants, Sago looks like she is nourished with fertilizers because she is a fat dog. Moreover, her coat has become shinier. Her diet consists of table food or cooked eggs, a scoopful of steamed rice, one and a half cup of dog food which she cleans up every meal time. She eats twice a day depending if meat or fish is served during lunch or dinner but I buy our breakfast.
I've studied almost all brands of dog food in the market and noticed Sago can only finish one particular brand which I will not mention since I won't be paid for the advertisement.
On other news, I'm in the process of experimenting with vermicast or worm manure on my plants although compost worked on my celery but with stunted growth. I did my research on YouTube on how to make vegetables grow and professional gardeners say they mix vermicast with coco peat.
Vermicast compared to regular soil is a lot smoother. Compared to compost, there are no dead leaves or other debris where centipedes could breed. Moreover, it has no foul smell. The downside is that you have to purchase vermicast and coco peat but they're more pleasant to the eyes than regular soil or compost. Moreover, you're not sure if the plants that are sprouting from the compost are your seeds. It could be wild grass which your dog might like but there are no studies yet which could guarantee it's safe. I notice Sago's poop to be somewhat yellow every time she eats grass and I don't know if that's bad. Google says it's an indication of food intolerance when there's a change in diet. The problem is I have to incorporate meat into Sago's meals to delay the onset of joint problems as she ages.
Sago is now seven years old, she turns a year older every January 13 of each year. She is a senior adult but still has not mated. Yes, I know she is just a dog, a very ordinary dog even but nonetheless mating is non-negotiable, and I keep her at a distance from dogs on the loose. It's a good thing she keeps close to me whenever we walk like she is not interested in mating and she wants me to protect her. I apply this same non-negotiable principle to myself especially when HIV and sexually transmitted diseases are rising at an exponential rate that you don't know who is infected or not.
As a way of pampering Sago, she has her own foldable bed for humans in my room. That way she can sleep comfortably like she sleeps at the couch at the living room. Come evening however, she descends the stairs and prefers to sleep in the couch while she waits for my brother.
