Hi Carol,

CS> They say crunchy in one more week for Gentle Jack.  I am swapping his

I never had a beagle so couldn't answer if they have allergy quirks or
not. When Sam got older, he liked his dry kibble moistened a bit. If we
had it on hand, we'd use broth or gravy but he would be happy with just
water on it. We'd occaisionally give him canned dog food, usually when
we had to hide a pill--gave him just enough to hide the pill and mix it
in with the dry food,

As far as sweet cole slaw--my MIL gave me the cole slaw recipe I make
99% of the time; it has just a sprinkle (maybe a tablespoon, at most,)
of sugar. Otherwise, it's cabbage, shredded carrot, pineapple, little
bits each of s&P, pineapple juice and mayo. I'll usually use crushed
pineapple or cut up rings/tidbits into small pieces. Best cole slaw I've
ever tasted and the one we judge others by.
