[nagdu] Adding water to food.

[Larry D. Keeler]

I never would! Sometimes I'll buy a couple cans of soft food for my dogs as 
a treat but usually, i keep a full water dish and a full food dish next to 
each other. When out, I have a fold up dish in case I need it but otherwise, 
no food. At hotels or such, I feed her rinse out the bowl and fill it with 
water. Putting water in the food sounds too much like eating mud!

I acc water to Dallas's food so that he doesn't eat it too quickly.
Seeing Eye did not tell me to do this initially. I keep water out for
Dallas because if I don't, he won't keep himself hydrated at his
scheduled times.
