karrie Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I was giving Mo dry kitten food. Mo was eating it. I looked at the saucer again today with new eyes and the thought crossed my mind ~ 4-6 wks old and this saucer isn't empty after 24 hours. Well duh baby teeth can't crunch that good MOM. So took out my trusty hammer and crushed the dry kitten food, added just enough water to hold it together and put that down. One minute later saucer is completely empty. Thanks for sharing my smack myself upside the head moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Just so long as you didn't use the hammer for the smack upside the head!! Bless you for rescuing little Mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 You can also mix it with water, or feed canned food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie_Girl Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I hate those moments! LOL Glad you got the "light bulb"! Poor lil Mo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy525 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I am sure Mo just thought, Oh wow, now I get a great treat, rather than, what a dumb mommy I have, like a 5 year old would!! (well at least my 5, oops 6 year old would think) Â No one can be perfect all the time, and I don't suppose you could make enough mistakes with Mo throughout his life to even come close to whittling down the good deed you did by taking him in! This is probably how Mo feels as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc friend Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Well, duh! You asked for suggestions and did any of us think of this? Glad it occurred to you that Mo needed softer food! You're a good mom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisK Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 No need for the smack on the head Karrie! You've given little Mo a life that he wouldn't have had if not for you and DH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustopherJones Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 You can mix the dry food with watered-down low-sodium beef or chicken broth to soften it. You can also use htis another way, by letting it soak until it is really soft, stuff it in a Kong, and freeze the Kong; it will be a challenge for the dog that will keep it entertained for a while.
