Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I love this dog topic! Reading Annette's coment about bouncing back and forth between raw and a SAD diet.. It just goes to show that nature is more 'intellegent' than the human mind. I notice that pets often become as confused or 'hypnotised' as their owners - The saying " a dog is as good as its owner " I thought I would add this interesting information about wolves.. A wolf can only live and feed as part of a pack. It also needs to know its ranking order for the team to work efficiently. I watched a documentary following a particular pack through their year. At one point two of the wolves left the pack through " disagreement " and almost died of hunger, as clearly they could not survive alone. Also they were not mature/experienced. They re-joined the pack by howling - of which could be heard by the rest of the pack across a whole forest! Sometimes these wolves would go days without food whilst in search of it. They could tell the approximate age of a Moose by the smell of its skin flakings on tree bark etc. This told them whether it was going to be an easy catch, i.e young or old. Most wild dogs will eat anything and certainly we see this with urban foxes. I know there are some people who prefer to rear their dogs on a vegeterain diet. They do well with the frequent addition of a raw egg cracked over their meal. I have seen wild dogs eat eggs via wildlife programs. When Lynne sent in her mail about fasting the dogs I had no idea what kind of diet they were acustomed to. I would imagine therefore that a fast could only help them Dont be afraid to feed them some veggie meals with avocado (dogs usually love these)In the wild dogs donot always get a full and complete diet of meat. I lived in puerto Rico for 4 months and brought a young puppy up on ruit. I also cooked buckwheat cereal and gave her museli for breakfast! I didnt have alot of choice because I was at a raw food center and found this puppy washed up on the shore. She did very well in those early days on what I fed her. Especailly for Annette; If you are having difficult on the " yo-yo diet " then I can recomend you a book which has absolutely nothing to do with food and everything to do with " mind mastery " and creating your destiny/dream. It will help you to find and live by your values. It can be a life-changing book and in my own experience - once you set out on this rawfood lifestyle it will bug you till the day you die if you dont take notice of the message in it! It is an english author but dont be put off. Most of the time I order books in from the U.S. They dont take very long to come; A good booker will get it for you..
