Pork...it's what's for lunch

Wooo! Fantastic news: Emmett ate the pork shoulder! First I offered it to him for breakfast, with tripe on top and on bottom; he picked it up and chewed it quite a bit. He didn't get any meat off of it...he was just chewing on it. So after a while I had to leave and Emmett looked like he was done messing with it, so I picked it up and put it away.

Later at lunch time I had been doing some research and got the idea to cut it up for him. I cut it up with scissors, left the meat in his bowl with the bone, and mixed in some tripe. I left him to it and went inside for like a minute or so, and when I came back out everything was gone from his bowl. It kind of alarmed me because the bone wasn't that small and I'm afraid that he swallowed it whole. I'm keeping my eye on him, but after a little more research, I think he'll be fine.

I got some more pork meat (shoulder/butt) from TaLin Market today just for tomorrow morning because now I know that Emmett'll eat it and I have to leave early tomorrow. I'm going to try to give him cut-up chicken with tripe & olive oil (to help the bone pass) for dinner tonight. Wish us luck!
