Oldies but goodies

Tilley has not been well for the last couple of days so I have been having to prepare her food special. As a senior she has special food requirements and that is easily digested food and low fat. She still needs as much protein but the fat is hard on her so all protein is low fat.

Low fat can often mean the way you prepare a protein or choosing low fat to start with. If I am cooking up meat of some sort I make sure that all fat is either trimmed or rinsed. With the hamburger I simply run the kitchen water very hot and rinse. Luke is getting a bit more fat in his food; as much as he can tolerate for the added calories.

It's not a science but it is definitely a trial and error act.

Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean. And so between them both you see they licked the platter clean. Works for Tilley and Luke very nicely.
