Except for Amy. If her food is left there, she picks up the bowl in her teeth and moves it into the center of her dog bed (through a dog flap into a heated dog box). <br />Ok - we thought, we can accomodate that and started putting her bowl in the corner of her dog box (thinking that this would give her more room to move around and less chance of knocking her food over into her bed. <br />But, no, Amy disagreed. Again, she picks up her food bowl and puts it in the middle of her bed. Only there will she eat.<br /><br />She now has us trained!RightBrainRightLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11363096908677487232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-44114858997488635672015-05-25T00:07:45.854-06:002015-05-25T00:07:45.854-06:00I have two chihuahua females.

Very small and if they want more another small handful. I know it sounds crazy but it works. They are 14 and 9 now and its still the same. Happy for Katy.

He also is very picky about his dry food, he would only eat out the parts that were soft (the meaty parts). The crunchy parts were usually pushed out of his bowl and end up on the floor. I finally figured out that he doesn't like crunchy food! So now he gets soft food twice a day (lucky guy) but at least he's happy and eats it all.<br />Took him a long time to train me on that one too. I often say it's too bad he can't talk!Karyn-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441864113888457036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-21828711802356992632015-05-24T09:41:48.167-06:002015-05-24T09:41:48.167-06:00Funny pooches!

We have some similar issues with Fraser, but mostly he just wants to see what we are eating (or sharing) before he will touch his food. Sometimes he just changes his mind on the brand we use so we have to change it up.

She has been that way for almost 7 years. I use to fear the way she eats due to the possibility of bloat, but never a problem. That habit of hers would be hard to break.
