The Many Myths of Raw Feeding

I am considering upping Gohan's raw food diet. His teeth are becoming a bit dingy and homedawg can't stand the stupid brushing we humans think is the answer.

I worry about this since my Pomies had (have) such wretched teeth and now it's just too late to do anything. Nikki is 16 years old and it hardly seems right to put her under just to remove scale and teeth. Mookie just passed away 2 months ago at age 17, but he was a chewer to the end. Even when it looked like it pained him, he would tear up a bone. For that, his teeth were just a tiny bit better than Nikki & Winky Dinky Dawg.

Winky would never ever chew, even as a puppy. Put a bone in front of her and she looked at you as if to say "Please put that in the food processor first."

So for my big boy, I'm considering more raw food and bones which he has to beat up, drag, and gnaw. This naturally takes care of that doggy flossing.

Big Puppy-head makes it to 2

My big fat puppy-head at a year old - a year ago today. It's his birthday and we just found him immobile on his crate floor after snatching an unopened jar of peanut butter treats and scarfing them all down. Looks like he had the mother of all stomach aches. Greedy little meathead.

Oops! I forgot to feed him

No wonder he's on a barking rampage. I just let him in and noticed that his food was still in the dish. Doesn't matter. He didn't even go to the dish right away. He immediately ran over to 'Mr.Monkeyman' and tried to take even more stuffing out of him.

My dining room is constantly littered with headless toys and white puffs of stuffing. He especially likes to 'kill' the squeaker - he always pulls that out.

Now he's crouching down in that play mode and wants me to chase him to save 'Mr.Monkeyman'. I do it once, but then tell him he's got to eat.

Hey! Did he just roll his eyes at me?
