What I’m about to write is outrage!
Ted, like many Cavapoos, is hopeless at eating. I put his food down and he looks at it, then looks at me as if to say “do you really want to poison me?”
Mornings are like this. I put out their food, sprinkled with a little salmon oil and liver powder. (Yum yum!
)
Tatze dives in and devours the lot in one minute or less from her slow bowl. Ted jumps on my knee and watches her. I put him down and Tatze lies down and looks longingly at his dish. He proceeds to sniff it and walk away. Just occasionally he’ll deign to eat a few mouthfuls. Once he’s gone I let Tatze polish it off (factored into her diet)
Evenings are slightly better. Same routine, Ted sits on my knee until Tatze has finished, then slowly slowly eats his meal. I give Tatze one kibble for every four he eats (also factored in) then - after a looong time he walks away. Sometimes, occasionally, he even finishes it!
I don’t worry about this, he’s a healthy happy dog - but after having a Lab it’s just plain weird. Tatze agrees!
Who, me?
