<DIV>I almost had a heart attack this morning. Gave Ben some of his warmed raw
diet with some beef broth(to get him to drink a bit more), and added about 6
pieces of dry kibble. Well, he ate most of the stuff and left the kibble. So I
put his cottage cheese on the left over kibble and he ate it. Now the thing
that surprised me was then I put a few more pieces of kibble in the bowl and he
ate it. I then gave him another small hand full of just the kibble(the stuff he
turned his nose up to for weeks), and he ate all of it. He has not eaten kibble
for some time now. Tried just kibble for dinner, and it was a no go. So I
fed him his patty warmed in beef broth, and then put a few pieces in his
cottage, which he ate. I then gave him a small handful, and he ate it right
down. He may be treating the kibble as desert. Did the same thing for both
meals today and he is eating the kibble. I do not know why he will do it
this way, but what the heck, if he will eat it, fine. I also think he is
training me with the beef broth thing. I have no idea how much he
should be drinking, but felt he should be drinking more, so I have been adding
lo sodium beef broth to his beef patty, and also flavoring his drinking
water. He likes it that way.</DIV>
