Hey Ya'll !!
Wanted to share with you what has happened to me over the holiday....Your input would be great.
For the first time, I dropped Tonga to the Kennel, a pet resort of sorts, even I wouldnt mind staying there
.
I was already nervous, I was not sure on how he would take being there, only one way to find out....
Anyway, the Kennel provides food....after telling the Staff he eats Raw, they said no problem, just bring it in....and I did....
The next day, I recieved a call from the owner, concerned about his diet, Tonga gets a quarter leg w/ a little tripe on da' side., 2'xs a day.
She said she was concerned about him choking, I told her she can watch him, though he doesn't care for that and will not eat. She states she has NEVER fed raw and was just concerned (understandable)
Well, she calls me again and tells me he does not care for being watched, (DUH!) and haven't ate all day....
I suggested she can observe from around the corner, which worked. I told her Tonga can handle whole pieces, though if it were a smaller dog, of course this would not be suggested.
Every word I told the staff was ment with a uuummm.....ok.....are you sure? Umph, gez I don't know about this...
I only wished I was told of this earlier
, I could have informed them much much earlier, though I did instruct them on how to feed him. I was told they have had clients who do have weird diets, I assumed they had experienced raw.
I had spent my entire vacay on baby stepping the kennel on feeding him....I should have brought him with me.
My question is this.....which is a around about way Should I begin watching him or continue to allow him to inhale his food which he has been doing since beginning on RAW ? He hasnt had any problems with his quarters, though my DH watches him eat, Tonga will turn his back on you when he only eats his quarters.
Let me find out I have a prissy dog ?
OH. BTW, I did get another call from the Kennel, the fence repair dudes came to repair a fense, Tonga came out from his "condo", on his way to a "nature walk" once the men saw Tonga and the men ran, and so did Tonga, draggin along his walker (told them to put on him his prong collar) But he stopped half way to roll on his back for a belly rub....
He does do that sometimes.....nothing viscious about him.....for now at least.
