Ärende: Dogs and food
=====================
->  > end.  I've witnessed a beagle finishing off a bag of sea salt and
vinegar
->  > potato chips, so beagles are less discriminating.
-> 
-> Cash will eat anything <g>.  Lst night as I finished off the duck broth, 

He's a beagle - I've never known one that didn't.

-> got all the skin as his 'wet food' and was extatic over it.  He spent
much of
-> the rest of the night sniffing in the direction of the momma crock he
cant
-> reach.  Heck, thats fair as Charlotte and i did the same!
-> 
Too bad you didn't buy two ducks.
 
-> True from what I've heard.  Cash doesnt run all that much but likes a
chance
-> to chase about a little with a ball.  We need to teach him to 'fetch'. 
He
-> runs after the ball but doesnt pick it up.  (It's one of the tougher
-> tennisball looking things that can handle strong jawed dogs yet soft
enough
-> and small enough for him).
-> 
Beagles aren't retrievers, but then even some retrievers don't do well in
the "fetch" department.
 
->  > He's part something else then. ...a pure-bred chow hound no doubt.
-> 
-> Definately.  For example, a beagle should be happy to knarf a rawhide
bone
-> for several days.  Cash *eats them* in 20 mins flat.  We stopped giving 

Chow hound it is!

-> Oh, another thing Cash has is a slightly longer jaw than a classic
beagle.
-> He's definately a scent hound mix, with a possible english bulldog
someplace
-> in the not terribly distant past?
-> 
That wouldn't surprise me one bit. 

-> hehehe Hard to say!  Either way, we upped his food and he seems happier. 
He
-> now gets 1 cup in morning plus a little wet 'something' or broth added
to the
-> dry.  At night, he gets 1/2 cup dry kibble (Eukabana) and 6oz wet from a
can.
-> 
-> Fed on all dry, he developed minor constipation.

Poor doggie.  Dry kibble would do a lot of nasty things to me too.
 
-> He likes Dashi.  Daisy also likes dashi.  In Cash's case it goes over
his dry
-> kibble and in Daisy's case it goes in a small knosh bowl with about 2 TB
-> worth.  Cash will eat food with chicken broth but doesnt really like it. 
-> Beef broth is waggy tail and dashi is whorlwind tail.

Salty fish soup. I imagine it's stinkier, at least to him, than chicken
stock or beef broth.  Daisy is a cat, so liking fish is understandable;
most of them do.
