[nagdu] Odie, what am I to do with You???

[Marsha Drenth]

Mark,

Your pup is just like Emma. Emma has to be the slowest eater ever. When I
was in class at TSE, they would give us the food, she would eat as I gave it
to her just as soon as I was given the food. But every single morning I was
the last one out always. Usually every one else was in and done by the time
I was even thinking about going out. This made me late every morning for
breakfast. Emma takes 30 minutes for one scoop of food. Its one bite, drink
some water, think, one more bite, and repeat. Its painful. And now with Emma
taking medicine for her EPI the process is long as her food has to stand for
20 minutes before she can have it. 

Marsha, with Emma the slowest eater ever!

A thought is you could feed a raw diet. Giving them an enormous meaty bone 
sort of forces them to chew. I have the opposite problem. My dog eats way 
way slow. He picks up a peace, chews it, and then gets another.
