Sweet Taters

So I've been on this "novel protein" diet since 11/20 and in my case, my novel protein is Bison -- with a little sweet potato in the mix to liven things up a little. I've also been eating the Natural Balance (they made the food) Bison & Sweet Potato treats -- very tasty! However, I do find myself longing for one of my beloved (but now off limits) bull sticks every now and then. Luckily, my problem-solving Mom is on the case and found me these! They are dehydrated sweet potatoes, which oddly make a great tasting and tough chew. Yummy yummy!

Exploring Dad's Shirt

For some reason I think it is super fun to crawl up inside of my Dad's shirt...I do it almost nightly! It's fun in there...kinda like a tunnel...and when I come out I look really funny from all the static electricity. xo r

December Visitors

I just looooooove when we get visits from family and friends from other parts of the country! Last week, it was my Grandma Mary Ann & Grandpa Don from NY. Here are some photos of us from their time with us here in Colorado. I had fun going on walks with Grandma and I love her sooo much that I even let her brush me without putting up a fight (but still hated it -- look @ my expression)! Grandpa Don and I had a great time playing with one of my original toys way back from my Arizona days. Fun! xo Roscoe

Santa Baby

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! This year has flown by. Here is a fun photo of me at my first visit with Santa. Can you see the terror in my eyes?! 3 seconds after this photo was taken, I leapt off Santa's lap and ran to Mom...who was standing next to the photographer. I really wasn't too jazzed about Santa. Oh well. Hope he still brings me LOTS of presents! xo R

A New Record!

I have not thrown up in a whopping 7 days -- that is my new record (since becoming sick, of course). WOO HOO!

My previous record was 6 days....so you see, I'm improving!

I really like my new food and the same company that makes the food also makes treats that are OK on the novel protein diet since they are made of bison and little else. I'm on the road to recovery...finally! And it's snowing -- sweet! XOXO Roscoe

Sweater Weather

BRRRRR -- it's pretty darn cold here in the Rockies! Good thing my wonderful Aunt Jenny bought me this sweater last winter.

The Verdict Is In...

We went down to the big city for me to get an endoscopy on 11/5. The results are back and I have eosinophilic inflammatory bowel disease -- that's what all that puking was about. So now I'm on what is called a "novel protein diet" for about the next 4 weeks. My new food is made from BISON! It makes me feel so manly, eating bison. I can have this food and only this food for the 4 week trial period...then if I'm feeling OK and not throwing up then maybe I can get some other things added back into my diet gradually. The best thing about the endoscopy was this neat bandana they gave me afterward! XOXO Roscoe
