Super Kane Day Saturday

Today was a Kane day. A super Kane Day Saturday with a lot of walking.

This morning we walked to the vet to use their scales. Kane weighed in at 40.6 kg. He is now very close to his ideal weight. Woohoo!

On the way to the vet, on the path parallel to Coulter Drive


40.6 kg.


After the visit to the vet, we continued on to the shops (Jamison Plaza). Normally, we would have gone home for a rest and made it another walk, but we had other plans in the afternoon.

There is a residential complex across the street from those shops and a few weeks ago, we discovered external water taps on a wall. So we had a minute's rest and a drink for Kane - I had to cup water in my hands and he drank from that. He refused to slurp from the tap itself!

After grocery shopping, we walked home the long way round. We were out for just over two hours.



We had a brief rest at home before setting out again to visit Melba the Border Collie, where I watched the football telecast with her person Adam. We didn't stay for the whole game and came home to watch the final quarter.



After such a tiring but exciting day, I fell asleep on the couch, but not for too long.

Kane had raw beef mince for dinner. I also tricked him into eating raw vegetables - green beans and diced carrots, which I only covered in boiling water to make them warm. He also ate a bit of brown rice mixed into it. All the vegetables seem to be good for him, even if most of the fibre passes through him undigested.
