if it works it works

The last few months Lincolns screaming has been CONSTANT. Nothing would stop it. At all. Even when I was actively doing stuff with him he would scream. I developed intense migraines recently that we are still trying to get them managed but I was at my wits end with screaming. Interacting him wouldn't help, more sleep didn't help, I gave him foraging toy after foraging toy. I spent hundreds on a mix of dog, cat, and bird foraging toys. Nothing. Helped.

One day at work we got some new products in. Little bowls full of dried things. There were a few different options I ended up going with dried fruits and nuts as just a little treat. Lincoln LOVED it. No screaming at ALL for the day he had it and following day when he was finishing it up. I immediately took that as a sign and started looking into other dried fruits and veggies so I could make my own mix. It's been a hit. We are a few weeks in and his screaming levels are back to normal. I couldn't be happier. I was so distraught thinking I was going to have to rehome him. I don't know why this worked but I will take it.

Mix of dried fruits, flowers, veggies, and nuts. I accidentally put too many nuts though so I've been picking them out. He really only gets a couple nuts.

Here's a taste of the all day everyday screaming.
