Started off my day with two very lethargic kids who were still not eating. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the new bag of food was just not the miracle cure that I thought it would be! After several brainstorming sessions with Joe, I went online and did some more research. Found a very interesting batch of posts about home made remedies for cats with tummy upsets. No true reasoning as to why they were ailing, so figured what the heck let's read the articles. Chicken broth. Yep, read that right, some good old fashioned chicken soup is what my babies were needing. Who was I to argue. Worked on the grown kids! Just goes to show that times may change but sometimes grandma really did know best!
1st dose around 1 pm
Started with a few teaspoons on each plate
Last dose around 7:30 pm
They actually left a few drops on the plate, around 7:45 Isobel was first to the food bowl and had a few bites. Samson jumped up around 8:15 and ate a few bites. Best news, no gagging sounds from either! Joe and I both noticed that they both came into the living room with us after they ate instead of hanging out by the door to the laundry (aka where the box is)!
Just like I did with my first crop of kids, started off with a few spoonfuls and then every 20 minutes or so gave them a bit more. Should of called my mom and asked her what to do! Probably would of saved myself a crop of gray hairs from worrying so much these last few days! My mistake was in trying to treat them like cats instead of toddlers, lesson learned. We will see what tomorrow brings.
As for tonight's delicious dinner, many thanks to Food Lion.
I liked their Facebook page and entered one of the weekly fan giveaways and low and behold I was the proud owner of a free package of Hillshire Farm American Craft Jalapeno and Cheddar Smoked Sausages.
Not something I would normally buy, but who am I to argue with trying a new product for free! Cooked these following the stove top directions to steam them, took about 15 minutes. Put them in hot dog rolls with some mustard, onions and relish, chips on the side. Next time, think I'm going to try them on the indoor grill! What a great (not to mention quick and easy) meal!
And no, they didn't pay me to say that! Just figure that if something is good, can't hurt to say it out loud. Everyone always want to shout from the rooftops when something is bad so I'm trying reverse psychology. I want to start a trend of telling everyone when something positive happens and the value of a good old fashioned thanks! Figure it might just catch on!
