Those of you who have read for a while know that Elle has always been on the "small" side for a Great Dane.. She's never been a big eater, until she started on steroids last summer. Then she gained about 50 pounds, weighing in at an all-time high of 155 lbs last Christmas. Then she lost a little bit of it, then gained some more, etc.
Since her surgery, she's back down to a svelte 110 lbs, and back to picky eating habits.
To get her to eat since recovering from surgery, my mom has been feeding her really expensive canned foods.
Got this text from my mom last night:

PHEW. So glad we're back to "real" issues!
I'm glad that she is getting back into the Princess mindset...I have to say that is my personal favorite mindset to be in :) Happy Hump Day!!! oxo
ReplyDeleteHahah awww!!! I am so happy to read that Elle is feeling like a diva again! My dog, Ellie, is the same way when it comes to eating. She's so particular! We don't even feed her at designated times. Her food bowl is always filled, and she just eats as she pleases.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I was horrified when I heard about Elle's recent surgery & health scare!! So glad she pulled through - we would have been devastated if anything had happened to our favourite "princess"! :-) Glad to hear that she seems to be getting back to her "old" self again too! Gosh - 155lbs??!! I just can't imagine Elle at that size! Her daintiness is part of her identity! :-)
