Hi Tammie, 
	I'm sorry, but I forget how old Molly is, so this may be off base. I
was always told to feed a dog as much as it would eat in 15 minutes. If they
clean the bowl, give them more. I found when Pico was growing, he would eat
in spurts. Sometimes he would clean the bowl and ask for more and others he
would leave half behind. Now I just free feed him and he does just fine.

OK I have a few questions and i hope no one thinks IM totally brain dead 
after IM done LOL

For starter when I feed my molly she inhales her food she is 3 months old is

this normal she acts like she wants more but the vet said don't give her 
more. Not sure if she should be eating that fast (this cant be healthy) and 
should I feed her more she gets 3 cups in the morning and 3 cups at night. 
She  still acts like she is starving though.

The next question is: is it OK to let them sleep in your room she is in her 
crate when IM not home or for some quiet time as I call it. Mostly she goes 
in there for about 30 min in the after noon so I can clean and not have to 
take all my daughters toys out of her mouth LOL. She is house broken but IM 
afraid if I let her sleep in my room she might not want to go in her crate 
anymore. She like to sleep in my bathroom in my room think the floor is 
cooler its tile.

One more she has a harness that she wears all the time is that OK?? One of
my 
friends said I shouldn't leave it on all the time. And she also told me to 
get a pinch collar for her but Molly doesn't pull against me usually, the 
only time I have problems with her pulling is when my daughter gets on the 
school bus I think that is because Molly wants to go too.

Well all the tips would be greatly appreciated

Tammie and Molly
