Our puppy doesn’t seem to care for plain kibble all that much. So we mixed it with a bit of cream cheese and he thinks it’s yummy—most of the time. One day I tried grated parmesan, he likes that too and it’s much less messy than cream cheese to sprinkle a bit on the kibble and mix it in. He does seem to get tired of the same old, same old. I don’t think there’s any danger of him overeating. Even at puppy classes he got bored of the liver treats so we’ve bought cheese strings and curds for tomorrow’s class. Outside, however, he never seems to get tired of chomping on any old thing: dead leaves, sticks, cigarette butts, litter, snail shells, bird droppings, … Reminds me of the first time we put our youngest, maybe a year or so old, on the sandy beach. He grabbed a handful of sand and immediately tried to put it in his mouth.
