Mealtime is a happy time~

This is our daily routine, twice a day. Misty has developed an internal clock as she aged, and quite to our amazement lets us know when it is time to eat, every single time. She has also become a rather cranky old dog and is quite demanding vocally when we're too slow in our service. I think eating is one of the most basic instincts that only grows stronger with aging, for humans and animals alike. It is one of the last remaining joys in Misty's life. She really perks up when it's time to eat, which I think is quite apparent in the video. And she's gotten so good with spoon feeding and has no problems eating while lying down, although we do try to slow down the feeding to minimize any digestion issues.

So, here it is. The whole process usually takes about 5 minutes which I condensed down to 3 1/2 minutes. It's broken down into first the solid food, followed by a second bowl of liquid/supplement powders. There's also a third step which I didn't include in the video where we give her pills and more supplements with peanut butter. Oh, and the final step of bowl of water to wash everything down.😊
