It's great to come on here and read about good news. Give Molly kisses from me and Keesh.
Hi Sharlene:
Tipper and I are absolutely loving the cool weather. Keep sending more our way! Hope Molly is still doing well. Blessings

It's getting to be that time of year, fall, when we get cold for a couple days and then warm for a couple. Back and forth.
Molly is doing fine, but she doesn't want to Just eat her dry food for dinner. She wants rice, or chicken or something on her dry food. In the morning she has a bit of wet on it, so I can get the liver pill down her.
Every since she had the tummy upset though, she thinks she needs rice with every meal. That can't be good for her, so she doesn't get it, but it is definitely a battle. If I put even a bit of rice kernals on it, she'll eat the whole thing. If I don't, she'll leave it almost completely! I have a brat!
She is fine though, just her normal Molly self.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
Hi Sharlene,
Rosie acted the same way following her spay/ear flush. She decided that she preferred soft food with shredded chicken and broth and refused to eat her kibble once she recovered. I have just now transitioned her back. It took forever, in baby steps. Once they've had the good stuff, it's tough going back. It's like us vacationing in and eating gourmet meals. Then returning home with no food in the house and end up eating dry Cheerios for dinner. ;):D
I am relieved to hear that Miss Molly is still a brat. I wouldn't want her to change too much.:D I want her to be the usual Molly self.;) xxxxx
Hey Sharlene... welcome to my world of human food versus dog food. It's a battle for sure, and I have actually given up. Keesh won.
I spend more time at the stove cooking for him then I did for anyone in my household - LOL .
He's really bad though. If he doesn't like what's on the menu that day, he goes without voluntarily. He I believe is the king of brats. At this stage of the game, I give it to him. He has mostly kibble, but you know he'll go for days at a time without eating if there's no goodies in the bowl. I gave up cause he has to eat. I've called him far worse then a brat though, believe me.
Hmmmm what's going with these little gourmets!! Trixie is never picky and will usually eat anything. I give bites of kibble when she is begging at the table...I never eat a bite of food without two eyes staring me down!! Unless we're eating out of course. ;) Anyway lately when she begs and I give the kibble she's actually taken it in her mouth and dropped it right on the floor!! :confused: She's holding out for something better!! The only other thing I'll give from the table is bits of bread and rice. If neither comes her way she'll take the kibble....but she's not happy about it!! :D
Glad Molly is doing fine! Oh, and the rice thing is so crazy isn't it? I had a little rice left over so put it on Trixie's plate with fresh turkey and her usual dog food and she ate the rice before the turkey!! Can't believe she'd go for rice over turkey but that's what happened! :p
Barbara
yes they are little gourmets aren't they. All 3 of them. hmmpphhh. She won't be joining me at La Castile any time soon, that's for sure, can you imagine, I'd have to order Prime Rib, medium rare for her. :D
Judi you can join me but leave Keesh at home! rofl Those two would be a dieting terror if they ever got close to each other. :eek:
Sometimes I play attack with Molly's kibble when she won't eat it. If I throw a piece she will go for it, jump all over it and then eat it if she thinks I'll take it away. If I do that enough, then she'll go to her bowl and eat the rest. However!!! Yes, there is a however, if you do this too much, then she'll sit at her full bowl of food and bark at it, because she wants you to come throw it for her to play with before she eats. Demanding little thing isn't she. Try explaining that to your guests. Sorry she isn't barking at you, she wants to play with her food.
LOL Well, we love them for all their little quirks that keep things interesting. :)
hugs,

Sharlene:
I have done that very same thing with Tipper if there is something I want her to eat like a heart worm pill. She turns her nose up at it so I tell her I am going to eat it, and make eating noises, this disturbs her and she takes it. The things we do to get these babies to cooperate is so funny when you think about it. Hope Molly is doing well. Blessings
