Save your money for something better than an expensive blender!  My
15 year old blender is still going strong, and it's just the ordinary
variety.  The secret is to get a coffee grinder to assist your blender;
they're not expensive either.  For most of five years, I've been making a
blenderful of soup every single day, and here's how: I start by grinding
the kibble first in the grinder.  I put the liquid (water) in the
blender, add a can of a/d in dollops, and when that's smooth, I gradually
add the ground kibble.  It takes very little time, and when stored in the
refridgerator it becomes quite thick.  I can spoon out enough for one
serving, thin it with a little water, and microwave it for a few seconds,
and feed to whoever is hungry.  My babies like it very warm, no lumps,
and not too thick.
 
I usually grind about 2 cups of kibble, and that goes in about 4 cups of
water.  I find that Totally Ferret makes the best consistancy, and some
of the other brands of kibble were not as suitable.  Good luck with it!
