As most of you are aware, I had an issue with butler's tummy after switching to Fromm Beef Frittata. after the tummy troubles i put him on hamburger and rice until i could get pork and applesauce from fromm. while on bland diet, he did not poop for 2 days!!!! i was terrified. i was so worried about my angel. I went to buy pumpkin, but due to the flooding in the midwest this year, the grocery stores i went to didn't have any! so i searched on the internet and I found a trick that show people use on their dogs.
Now it sounds ridiculous, but it works! You take a match (unlit of course!) and stick it in their butt. I just put it in 1/3 of the way, gave it a twist and pulled it out. Butler did piggy runs in the house and then we went outside and he pooped within 2 minutes of inserting the match. I don't know how or why this worked, but it brought both of us some relief.

I do remember a rectal thermometer would always get a baby to go...but not cuz you WANTED it!! Be interesting to know why!
maybe I should pick up the sun) to get him to stop eating pooh. 
He only eats our old dog's dooty and he's been hunting them down like a sniffing hound dog since he was 8 weeks old. Nice huh?! We pick up multiple multiple times a day but just can't be out there every second (we have a doggie door so the old dog slips out unnoticed ocassionally - trying to escape the youngins I'm sure. Nothing worked and he even took a liking to Franks Hot Sauce. 
Oh yeah, I'm a professional bully dog mouth cleaner too
