When he arrived as well as only ever having been fed the wrong food he had only ever been fed tinned food and so kibble has been a challenge. I was soaking it at first to make it more easily digestible and believe me the smell of soaking fish based kibble early in the morning is something you would rather not experience

anyway I have gradually been soaking it less and introducing some unsoaked kibble which did not go down well at all, but with perseverence and gradually decreasing the soaking time and increasing the amount of unsoaked kibble I am pleased to say that today has been the very first day where Norrie a.k.a Tinribs has eaten entirely solid food.

He always has something extra and his favourite is most certainly a tin of sardines although he enjoys pollock, salmon especially smoked, chicken, duck, turkey, beef and lamb as well of course as eggs. He is now on just 4 meals a day as the unsoaked kibble takes longer to digest and so we have cut back.
He has a thing about doors, any door no matter where it leads he wants to go through it and then stands there looking puzzled as to why he has gone wherever

He is starting to play not only with the gang but with toys and this morning carried a rubber ring around for ages before chasing Wotsee became more fun.
He loves to pull you by your coat hem or by getting hold of your trousers and the other night he got hold of David's trouser leg and was pulling him by it and point blank refused to let go.
His true character is slowly but surely emerging after the years of suffering that have stopped it developing, he is a lovely fun loving dog.
A long way to go yet and a lot of meals to cook
