Kazu!

Kazu on soil
(at least dry this time)
in the garden

With her siblings already off to far away lands, Kazuko finds herself playing more often with her parents (and her human pets!). She is now just under four and a half months old.

An initial encounter with Kazuko will result in her spending at least 45 minutes just playing (mouthing, pawing, licking, etc.) with the human pet. Only after a physically intense play (running and moving her toys around to chase) will she somehow sit and probably lie down for a while. It does happen that she gets bored with her human toys and just leaves. For the most part though, Kazu has been more interactive with us.

We were informed of a possible difficulty with the availability of their dry dog food (Pet One), and our friendly retailer recommended "Beef Pro" (It is the particular name of the puppy food. I somehow don't recall very well the actual brand. It contains the word "Breeder" though). She explains that it is made by an American company and that she is able to obtain them in large quantities. She adds that the protein content is higher than most brands. She in fact pointed out that it is higher than 26% (the content in Eukanuba's Large Breed for puppies - our default dry food before moving mainly to Pet One because of that pet food scare.). We decided to try out a bag, and initially mix small portions first (the usual procedure for the introduction of new food).

The first few days with "Beef Pro" seemed to go well. They all finish up their dry dog food rather quickly. . . Or it may be just because Kazu is growing up fast. . . In any case, we believe that the new dry dog food is something that they like too.
