how to get an old dog to eat his supper, (a.k.a. recipe for "magic" sauce)

1. fill dog bowl with his plain old regular dogfood.
   


2. reach into refrigerator for a bottle, preferably with something audibly sloshy inside.
   


3. without removing cap, vigorously shake bottle over dog bowl, all the while making lots of liquidy-good noises, as dog watches.
   


4. enthusiasm works well here in getting the dog's attention by adding "look, feidler, magic sauce! umm. good."
   



5. watch dog eagerly munch away.



6. laugh at stupid old dog.



7. repeat twice a day.
