I had to laugh reading these. I thought my pyr was the only one with
funny eating habits. He too always leaves a few pieces behind. That is
unless I put some rice in his bowl. He adores rice and will gobble up
whatever kibble I put in his bowl with the rice. I feed him away from the
other 3 dogs (sight hounds) so there is no risk of dog fights because we did
have an issue once many years ago and I never want a repeat of that. It was VERY
scary so now everyone eats in their own space and I don't leave food bowls down
with food in them. They all eat and then the food bowls get picked up. If
any is left over, oh well, up it comes and tough luck until the next meal.
I feed twice a day and usually everyone eats what I feed them. Sometimes
my pyr does turn down a meal but not usually.
I did have one pyr that so hated to eat I could keep him out of a
room he wasn't allowed in by putting a bowl of food in the doorway. He
wouldn't go near the room because he would avoid the food bowl. He was a
nightmare to keep weight on. We had to play every food game in the book to
keep him from starving to death, even though we had 2 other dogs (and one
other pyr) at the time. Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars. |
