"Traction"; ROFL!
I tried the towel thing in the beginning but instead of eating, all they did was roll around on those towels as they do after bath time! My dogs are crazy! So I'm using an old cotton sheet. They spend about 5 minutes moving their RMB's from one side to the other inside their xpen until everybody has settled into a spot that suits them, lol. Plus there's the coveting of things! "Even though his bone looks exactly like mine, maybe his tastes better!" I have watched them "exchange" their pieces between each other without any aggression at all but actually with a lot of love and respect. Have you heard of this? My 1 year old female even appeared to be showing the new female puppy how to do this chewing thing and kept bringing the chicken wing to her the first couple of times when I first switched her diet!
Yeah, well, I guess another myth is that pack behavior is savage!
Btw. thanks for mentioning the chicken feet, I totally forgot about those! Past Halloween, I colored the nails on the chicken feet with KoolAid because my dear friend from Seattle was visiting and I wanted to freak her out as she's totally squeamish about prey model and feeding time! ROFL
