For those that are unaware, I had to remove the girlfriend from my life - and of course I lost access to Jagger. Really miss having the little guy around. Couldn't do without a dog anymore - so I took in another miniature pinscher, he's chocolate and tan. He's 5, and what a sweet little guy he is. He's only been here for a few days, but settling in fast. Very smart, gets most things very quickly.

 

He's been eating Acana dog food, mostly a grazer throughout the day. He doesn't eat much but I can't believe how much poop comes out of him, and usually 2 or 3 times a day. Seems like what goes in, comes out. And his farts are pretty rank. Tried him on a raw chicken foot (thawed) yesterday afternoon, devoured it. Fed a raw (thawed) pork rib last night, ate the whole thing and came looking for more so I don't think there's any question...

Oh, I'm sorry about you and your gf. I know you miss Jagger a lot, but I'm glad you have a new dog in your life now. What's his name? Sounds like raw is a go for you! 

 

My system for whatever reason won't let me see the picture being in file form, but I know he's a cutie!

I'm so sorry to hear about that. Your new little man is adorable. I love the pic!

The name he came with is Monty, think it suits him.

 

[naturalfeddogs]

Look at those ears!!! So freakin' cute!!!! He does look like a Monty!

[jagger]

He's not very big, maybe 7 or 8 pounds and he's a little bit chub. I'll try him on some chicken wings for supper, see how it goes.

Looks like he got the idea already.....

[jagger]

Got the idea is right...

 

Note to self, cut chicken up.

 

I gave him a deboned chicken thigh, chew swallow, chew swallow. Never left his mouth, went down almost whole. Big gullet on a small dog.

[jagger]

Well, seems like his weepy eyes have cleared up already...

[jagger]

I have to say, he's loving the raw food. Goes after raw chicken with a vengeance and his body is coping really well.

Bought a rack of pork ribs, again he loves them but won't touch it frozen, need to defrost but oh well. Chicken feet are the same.

 

Already i can see changes in him, his eyes are still a little weepy once in a while, but overall.

 

Little bugger is blossoming so fast, personality is wonderful. Been taking him out everywhere, people love him. Been asking strangers to pick him up and pet him, had a few women ask what I would do if they made a run for the door with the dog. I so love MinPins.

[naturalfeddogs]

Good for you! Sounds like its going great! 

[jagger]

Well, he loved the raw heart, wasn't too sure about the duck gizzard. Ready to switch to beef.

Teeth are coming along nicely, forgot to take a starter pic but..
