Collars, crates, & other cool things / Re: dog booties

Have you guys ever tried Mushers wax?  We live in NYC (Manhattan) so they suggest it out here if you're not going the boots way.  It's supposed to protect against salted sidewalks too.

Meet & Greet BPOers / Re: East Coast Meet-n-Greet PICTURES!

Nice to see you had a great time. Wish I could have made the trip but some things just can't be put off. So, how many showed ?  How many dogs ?

There were 3 of us BPO'ers and our families....4 dogs total!  Sophie, Molly & Abbi and Bogard.  But the dog park was busy and there were actually a ton of big paws there, including a full grown St. Bernard and a big old Bloodhound. 

Maybe you can make one in the spring - we talked about doing another!  The place was GREAT - it had a large (with grass) fenced dog park and a small one as well.  Bathrooms close by, and a great picnic area with kids playground as well.

Jenn - I have a couple good ones of Molly, and a really cute one of James - but none of Abby -she kept missing my lense I guess....too quick for me!   :-\  You have such a sweet family - it was great meeting you guys too.  Hope you had fun in Hershey!

Ok I figured it out. I will bring the main course (a suprise) so if their is something you can't stand just let me know. Mandy is bringing desert. so all we need is drinks for us. Rachel is bringing water for the furkids. I think that covers everything.
Jenn

Great - sounds good!  We eat everything   :)  I will bring a side also (dessert is easy) or some chips w/dip.  Looking forward to meeting you guys!  Around 1pm ish right?

I think he will slow down once he gets use to being fed raw regularly. 

I think you're right....I've just never seen him so excited about food (I had trouble keeping 3 cups of kibble/day in him as a pup - he never wanted to eat) and now he's at it with gusto!  cute & scary.

Thanks Shellie!  The Oma's is expensive, but I thought I'd try it to start as I having a hard time watching Bogard swallow down whole chicken wings, and when I hold them to try to slow him down he breaks them in 2 and gulps the bone shards....whic h makes me a little nervous about poking his insides or possible trouble passing them.  But from what I've read, the bones (and actually breaking down and eating the bones) is a huge part of the BARF diet. 

So I tried quarters thinking he'd chew slower and he bites off the knobs at the end of the thigh bone and swallows those whole!!  They just look big for him to digest.....but that is normal, right??!?  :-\

The crazy thing is this whole raw switch isn't about Bogard (he loves the food and is sooo much happier eating) it's about my issues with the new foods.

Thanks for the "how much" info too - that is about what I've been giving him.  I want to keep him lean and a bit skinny while he's in his growth period.  He's almost 5 months and only about 45lbs.
