Is the PICKIEST eater I have ever had!! Well, actually she is the ONLY picky eater I have ever had. I know it is all my fault because I did whatever I could to get her to eat when she first arrived (a year ago now). She was so thin.
At first she would eat canned dog food on her kibble. Then she started turning her nose up at that. So I tried actual ground meat, cooked and added to her kibble and she eats that 99% of the time ( if it is pork) no turkey, no venison, I don't have beef / chicken on hand. Sometimes she will eat tuna or canned chicken ( always when I am having it for lunch) and if I cut up lunchmeat it must be black forest ham and only certain brands......... Our ground pork is for human consumption , not my dog. See where this is going??
I am sick of getting her dinner ready and then having her walk up and turn her nose up at it. Sunny who is diabetic is on a strict diet , I like to keep her meals the same and Mia doesn't need the calories as she is borderline chunky , so it goes to the chickens.
So yesterday I gave her her bowl of Black Forest Ham in the morning and for dinner I put down kibble. She was hungry I know. She looked at it and walked off so I offered it 1 more time and away it went.
This morning I put down kibble again and while she looked at it a long time she refused it. I know she is hungry now because she was especially pathetic in her begging at lunch. I hope I can hold out longer than she can!
All my dogs have been good eaters. My daughter is a picky eater too but I never catered to her. ...........
