[nagdu] Not eating

[Mark J. Cadigan]

When I take away his bone, he just goes and takes a nap. However, he gobbled 
up his food this morning for no reason. It's not like I did anything 
differently. I put his food down, went to go take a shower, went to go pick 
up the bole, to put it away, and it was empty.
