Jane and Fred must talk on the phone! I wrote in a few weeks ago because Fred had decided that he wasn't eating anymore. He'd been at Doggie Daycare for a weekend, and seemed to have a bit of a stomach bug, so I thought that was the problem. However, when I made him chicken and rice, he gobbled it down (he also wanted Chinese food, cookies, etc.) I would slowly cut back on the chicken and increase his regular food, but as soon as I eliminated it, he stopped eating again. Well, I don't even cook for myself, so I was not going to cook for him!! I had been feeding them the exact same food for at least a year, because it seemed that if I switched, it would upset their stomachs. I decided to try again and combine what they were used to with something new (to ease the transition.) I feed them the Eagle Pack dry food. I bought the fish-blend one (I think it's salmon, tuna and anchovies.) I chose it because it stinks, so I thought it would be right up Fred's alley! I also give them a tablespoon of canned food mixed in, so I bought some new flavors. Ever since then, he has only not eaten one morning, and I do think that his stomach was bothering him a bit. By dinnertime, he was fine. I plan to periodically switch the dry food flavor, and buy a variety of canned foods. I heat the wet food in the microwave so that he can really smell it and know that it's something new!<br>

Gosh, what they put us through...I feel like a short-order cook!!<br>

Rose, Annie (I'll eat anything, including poop!) and Fred (Mom, you try eating the same thing for a whole year and see how you like it!)<br>
