My dogs are on a new diet

I started feeding them raw meat yesterday.

Let me tell you a really funny anecdote. Books I have read suggest when you are first starting to feed whole, raw, meat with bones in dogs won't chew. So to remedy you are not supposed to feed small things like a leg or thigh or something, but instead you want to let them eat off a large portion over time. This is so they will have to really tear it off instead of gulp it down. So I buy a whole chicken. Last night Grubb ate some of it. Then Sluggs ate some of it. Since most everything I read said you should feed separately because of higher food guarding, I did. Then this morning I was outside trying to get Sluggs to chew on it. He is having a little problem. He just likes to lick his chicken. So Kyle says maybe we should let Sluggs watch Grubb eat. Well, hell, why not? So we let them eat together and they are perfect angels. Nobody fought or anything. I was so proud. So here is the funny part. I was trying to get Sluggs what I was calling the chicken ass. In reality I think it was the neck. But it was a skinny tube of chicken that looked pretty gross. I was holding and trying to get him to chew on it. "Come on chew on the chicken ass. There you go chew on the chicken ass." That wasn't working. So I thought maybe I will try to pull that small portion off. I sort of messed with it a little bit and then as I moved it some organs squished out of the chicken ass and tumbled on to my hand. It was so disgusting. Sluggs, however, thought he just hit the million dollar jackpot on the slots!
