Orange is her color

If you remember here, I talked about treating Bella's tummy issues with new food, meds, etc. Well, a couple weeks after we started her on this new regimen (including antibiotics for her bladder infection- yep, that came back positive), she started to not eat a whole lot. This was partly because she wasn't a huge fan of this hypoallergenic food since basically everything from her diet is eliminated in effort to rule out food allergies and partly because the antibiotics for the infection don't make her feel too hot.

We were getting kind of worried about her because she wasn't eating a lot and was acting pretty lethargic. So we took her back to the vet and the vet gave us some cans of soft food which is basically white fish (apparently an ok protein if there is a food allergy) and she also recommended that we add canned pumpkin to her food to entice her to eat.

So we did.

The below pictures are the first day we tried pumpkin. And holy CRAP. It was a RIOT. She went nuts for the stuff. She tried to lick it off of every kibble of food instead of just eating the food. So there was food thrown everywhere. We had an orange pumpkin mess in our kitchen. And a puppy with a bright orange face. It was adorable.

YUM! I love THIS. Why didn't I know about this orange goodness before??

Sitting on the floor. I was taking pictures at first and then Tim came down even though he was trying to sleep after a work shift of not sleeping just to check out the pumpkin madness.

We tried to get a shot of her orange face post eating but none of the pictures we got really show how truly awesome it was. This is a pretty good one... notice the orange hanging out of the sides of her mouth. She also had a bright orange nose but we couldn't totally capture it. It was priceless.
