I have never bought so much meat in my life.

Every time I go to the store, I leave with 4 or 5 kgs of meat and have to explain to the cashiers that it is not for me.

The meat won't last for long since Sparky eats about 700 grams at each meal. It is a lot to give him but we are just following the vet's advice here. High protein diet is good for cancer since the cancer feeds itself from carbohydrates like rice, flour and pasta. The hope is that the "meat diet" will slow the cancer growth a little bit by not providing what the cancer thrives on.

Sparky does not seem to get bored from so much beef. I would have but not him. Sometimes, I have the impression that he could eat more than what I give him.

He reacts so funny when he understands that I am preparing his dinner.

He comes to the kitchen, lies down at the entrance and watches every gesture of mine.

Sometimes, he looks back to be sure that no one else comes for his dinner. He probably kept this habit from the times when there was a bit of competition over food between him and Chic, our cat.

The meat is not cheap at all so I had to figure out which store has the lowest prices.

Still, the expenses are high but if this helps Sparky, it is all worth it.

Anything that we can do for him (within reason) will be done.
