Today was saturday, and I LOVE working on Saturdays, why you might ask? Because my day is cut 4 hours shorter than my normal as I only work 9am-4pm and things are generally a tad bit slower on saturdays so I am able to get some 'busy work' and tedious tasks done. Today I did doggie daycare and it was fun, we have a lot of dogs boarding this weekend:
Saturday we had 6 standard poodles in doggie daycare, 1 golden retriever, 1 Bernese Mountain Dog, 2 German Shepherds. In little dogs we had 2 schnauzers, 2 jack russels, 1 shih tzu and 2 chihuahuas. Just about EVERY noisy dog that ever boards with us is there this weekend, the only quiet ones were 4 of the standard poodles, the bernese mtn dog (only noisy for attention) and the chihuahus. So you can imagine the headache I endured :) But I like it when we have a lot of dogs as there are more playful ones there and they can 'entertain' themselves easier....i.e..find someone to wrestle with.
We have a client who for the past 7 years has 'blended' her dogs food up and frozen it into individual servings. It's a german shepherd and she has something called Megaeosophogus so she can't swallow properly. She is a little skinny but doing amazingly well for her condition, most don't live this long at all. She's such a good girl, she stands on her hind legs on a counter to 'lap' up her liquid food mix, then after she eats she has to stand for 20 minutes on a chair to help gravity. She is so good she stands there for the entire time....you might ask while I'm telling you this....because It made me realize that preparation is the key.
I try to make my meals the night before, well at least when I work I make my breakfasts/dinners as it makes it so much easier in the mornings, and I have less chance of not taking something healthy. If I'm running late, I don't have to worry about not having time to make up my meals n snacks if I prepare them ahead of time. What do you do to prepare yourself to eat healthy?

Good point about being prepared.
I had never heard of Megaeosophogus. That dog has a dedicated owner. I would put dedication and commitment right up there with preparation.
I will plan a whole week's menu, not saying I stick to it, but just having it there takes the guess work out. In my situation, I usually cook around what my family is eating for me. Not all times, but there are times I do. Eventually they are getting weaned off the mac n cheese unless it is made with lower carb pasta, you get the gist.
Anyway, for the family I will take all the fresh berries and grapes and divide them into snack bags, so they can either just grab one or take it in their lunch. Those kinds of things are really quick and helpful. I will also sometimes do that with goldfish crackers, vanilla wafers, animal crackers and what not. I say make your own 100 calorie snack bags with good less processed foods whenever possible.
I just printed off your recipe...going to have to give it a try. It sounds really yummy. Can't wait to go grocery shopping now...LOL.
