feeding time

Morning and all the critters are awaiting their breakfast. One big dog has digestive issues so he needs rice and chicken with his dog food every meal. One kitty is young so she gets kitten food.  Our oldest cat gets her special diet for her nutrition needs and finally the rest are fed. This will include a couple of additional strays who have decided that our porch is their best hope of a free meal. With the bad economy some folks just leave their cats when they move from the home they have lost. Guess they figure it is better than a shelter. We have a nice shelter in town so do not see the logic to this, but I am sure they have much to be concerned about if they are dealing with loosing their home. Well, must get to the feeding chores & the dog walking this is about a two hour process twice a day.
