...I'm so glad Moses is making himself at home. <br />My sister had some luck with raw chicken, bones and all, when her dog wouldn't eat. I fully realize however that may send the wrong message about some of the other occupants of the house. <br />Good luck, I can't wait to meet him!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951128216751424863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794417953319238568.post-20218753750642310672010-06-08T10:31:56.075-07:002010-06-08T10:31:56.075-07:00tom has buddy and lucie believing that green beans...tom has buddy and lucie believing that green beans are treats. i don't know which of his theatrical skills does the trick, but maybe he could give you some tips. they definitely react in positive fashion to his dramatic displays. i'm sure you can imagine : ) well wishes to mosey. he is the luckiest dog in the world to have found you and mike!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794417953319238568.post-61590998749935070302010-06-08T06:02:01.374-07:002010-06-08T06:02:01.374-07:00If none of these wonderful ideas work, you could a...If none of these wonderful ideas work, you could always throw in a pair of glasses (reading glasses, sunglasses, your favorite glasses) with the food.

It releases the aroma and softens the food and just overall makes it more enticing. I saw this on "It's me or the dog" which I watch religiously to help me keep up with my dane/newfie mix. And/or add soft food to it if you're not already (i find canned pumpkin works well). stumbled across your blog through a friend of a friend and love it - good luck! elise (and Mojo)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794417953319238568.post-88344904612952277532010-06-06T11:03:20.063-07:002010-06-06T11:03:20.063-07:00OMG you are making me crack up!
