Settling In & Getting Beef for the First Time

It had been a busy time for us, with the shifting and adjusting to the new environment.

Rossi gal did better than I have expected. Intially, I was concerned that the change of environment would stress her out. I was worried it would affect her appetite & potty routine too. But to my relief, she is still pretty much her usual self...still engaging us in play the way she always does, eating her meals, loving her treats and her pee/poo is ok too. Thank God.

Darling is still in the midst of adjusting herself to the unfamiliar noises and exploring the new 'smells' in her surrounding. Daddy and I know she is a good gal and is trying her best to blend in. At the same time, we ourselves are also getting accustomed to the whole new environment. But I know me, daddy and Darling will settle in nicely in time to come.

Last Sunday, it was my first time getting beef for Rossi gal. And of course, I got it from my favorite butcher. I have always admired the variety of beef cuts at their counter every time I go there to replenish her lamb supplies. Finally, now I can make my beef purchases and feel them in the flesh! ;p

Here it goes, my first beef purchase for Rossi gal :D

I started off with the leaner beef cuts, as I wanted to let her get used to eating beef first. Eventually, I will get other cuts of beef for her. As compared to lamb, the variety of beef cuts available seems more extensive. The beef section also looks bigger than the one for lamb.   

Those who know me, would know that I dun give Darling beef. It used to be a house rule set by Daddy due to some personal reasons. Other than beef, Daddy is supportive of her raw diet and is fine with red meats like lamb, pork, venison and kangaroo. She still has a good variety of meats and most importantly, Daddy believes in the benefits of the raw diet.

Then one fine day, Daddy told me, Darling can take beef when we move out. Why the change? Why is it only when we move out that she can start taking beef?

The answer to the first question: His perspectives have changed. It is hard to believe, even I myself find it too amazing to be true, but it is true. God changed him. I won't be elaborating on this. But in a nutshell, after being in touch with God, he has changed.

Knowing Daddy for a decade and a half, he had always been very rigid on the No-Beef rule in the house. The rule applied to me as well. I cannot eat beef within the confines of the house too.

But the rule is lifted! Now both me and Darling can eat beef in the house. Yay! ;D

As for the second question: There is a personal reason involved. To me, it doesn't matter that Darling can only start eating beef at the new place. The only thing that matters to me is, Darling can eat beef now. This is something I can never imagine Daddy saying yes to. Thank God.

Hope Rossi gal will enjoy eating beef as much as I do. :)


Zzz-ing at our new place ;p
