When a dog isn't eating, oftentimes she isn't drinking either. Dehydration is a major concern and can cause serious problems. Keep an eye on your dog to make sure she doesn't become dehydrated. To do this, check her gums. They should be pink, wet, and slick, not dry. You can also press a finger to your dog's gums until they change color. When you remove your finger, the color should return immediately. If it takes a few moments, the dog may be dehydrated. Dogs who are vomiting or who have diarrhea are at a high risk for dehydration. Never try to force water down your dog's throat. Forcing water down her throat can cause more problems if she doesn't swallow. Instead, try techniques to encourage her to drink on her own. If your dog has been vomiting, solid food probably will make her sicker. Give her salt-free broth or beef bouillon three to four  times a day. This will help keep her hydrated while giving her needed nutrients. Homemade broth is better than canned broth. Unflavored Pedialyte, which is a drink for children containing electrolytes, can help your dog if she has not been eating or drinking. The Pedialyte can help replace much needed electrolytes. Sometimes, you can get your dog to lick a wet surface so she can get some water. See if your dog will lick water from your hand or fingers. You can also try to see if your dog will lick an ice cube. Sometimes, adding an ice cube to your dog's water can help. She might be more willing to drink it with the ice cube inside, which makes the water cooler. Some pets like to drink running water instead of still water, so also try a drinking fountain to encourage your dog to drink. Dehydration can cause serious problems. If your dog refuses to drink anything, take her to the vet. The vet can give her fluids through an IV and find out if there is an underlying condition.

Summary: Check for dehydration. Do not force your dog to drink. Feed your dog broth. Give your dog Pedialyte. Let your dog lick water from something. Add ice to the dog's water. Take the dog to the vet.

A throwback jersey is one that duplicates a jersey worn by a team or player from the past. Real fans tend to purchase throwback jerseys (along side more modern sports gear) because they actually know the history of the team and its players.  On the contrary, bandwagon fans typically purchase team gear that represents the more modern logos, colors, and players. True fans are also more likely to spend big bucks on team gear and throwbacks are usually more authentic and costly. True fans will never boo their team because they are trying to inspire them, not make them feel worse. It's okay to be angry with a less than perfect performance, but making your team feel like trash won't help. Real fans stick with their team for better or for worse. A true fan's loyalty is always to his or her team first. That doesn't mean that they can't support or like other players, but it does mean that their loyalty lies with their team's players first.  For example, it's fine to appreciate great players like Peyton Manning but if you're a New England Patriots fan you support Tom Brady first. Additionally, if you have players who are on your fantasy football team but are not on your favorite football team, you can support them only as far as it doesn't interfere with your favorite team's success.
Summary: See if they own a throwback jersey. Notice if they ever boo their team. Determine if they support their team's players more than any others.
