Chris,

When I take my dog outside and tie him up in the back yard (he mostly stays
in the house), he will eat tremendous amounts of grass.  He never heaves it
up.  We also just learned that he has hookworms and we're giving him
medication for it.  Perhaps the extra roughage is an attemp to dislodge
parasites from the intestinal walls.

A quesion re. feeding dogs.  Before discovering Paleothin, I fed our dogs
on
what I thought was a "natural" diet, including oatmeal, raw meats, grated
fruits & veggies, raw egg once or twice a week, a little olive oil, nuts
for
treats...  About a month ago, I omitted the oatmeal and upped the meat
concentration.

They were happy with the change, but within two weeks all four of them
developed an absolute craving for fresh manure.  They've always enjoyed an
occasional manure snack, but now they're eating it every day.  I can't
figure this out - our livestock don't eat grain, so I assume they're not
trying to replace the oatmeal content of their diet.  What could they be
getting from grass manure that's not in the diet?
