Again, let me say that cotons have sensitive stomachs!

I should know better. I normally never give Bebe table food, for two reasons. I don't want a 'begging' dog, and I know Coton's have sensitive stomachs...however, I have been known to give her a few bits of leftover rice in her bowl when I'm cleaning up the kitchen from dinner, or her favorite is when I give her freshly shaved Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese mixed in with her kibbles when we have pasta. Last night I made pork chops, and I gave her 2 TINY bites, threw it in with her kibbles and she was a happy camper. All the while thinking... she's never had pork before, I hope she doesn't get sick. Well, she wasn't sick, but I did come down to 2 runny stools on the floor this morning ! She is fully housetrained, so she knows better. Bad mommy ! My fault, not Bebe's. I should have known better ! It's just best not to glance down and look under the table and see those gorgeous black eyes peering up at me. She didn't ask for it...I GAVE it to her. Ugh... anyway... it just confirms the fact that they have sensitive stomachs. I won't be doing that again !

Loose Stools & Pumpkin

When we picked up Bebe from our vet who boarded her for 8 nights while we were out of town, she came home with loose stools. Since I knew it had to do with being stressed out, I emailed my breeder who suggested I give her canned pupkin. ( Not the pie mix, but the PURE pumpkin ).

I ran to the store, came home, and she licked about 2 TBS. off a spoon, and LOVED it ! Whew... !

No kidding, the next time she went out to "go", her stool was normal ! It worked within hours, and I couldn't believe it, because she had been leaving me 'gifts' in my home, which she had never done before, and I was getting sad !! THANK YOU PUMPKIN !
