It sure is a rainy morning!! I hope you feel better as the day goes on! Your dinner sounds great! Speaking of pumpkin, our vet posted this today:
It's pumpkin season, and though they are used in decoration and pies, they are also beneficial to your pets, both dogs, and cats. It’s actually one of the world’s healthiest foods for humans and animals.
The following is from Animal Wellness Magazine;
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, pumpkin has a Cooling nature. It helps relieve Damp conditions, including dysentery, eczema and edema. It supports the spleen and the pancreas. It helps regulate blood sugar levels, and promotes the discharge of mucus from the lungs, bronchi and throat.
Pumpkin is great for diarrhea – and amazingly, it’s just as good for constipation. There are seven grams of soluble fiber in each cup. It helps coat and soothe irritated gastrointestinal systems, and is an excellent source of potassium, which is so critical when valuable electrolytes are lost due to diarrhea.
It is also packed with many other nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, C, E, K, calcium, copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, phosphorus, riboflavin and thiamin – and, from the rich bright orange color, beta carotene..
Eat up those pancakes! 
Have a great day!
