I always wait a couple of hours after feeding the dogs before taking them out. This morning, though, I'm going to wait a bit longer. I gave Pepe and Witty their meals, then I was distracted and delayed before putting Bogie's on the floor. Turned round to see Pepe had scoffed his own in double quick time and then reached up onto the work surface and had Bogie's as well. Poor Bogie had to stand and watch helplessly as he can't reach that high. So, I'm having to let Pepe have a bit of extra time to digest all that food!
How greedy still I have known a schnauzer who got into the dog kitchen and ate from a bowl containing food for the entire kennel. Franny ate so much she looked like an insect with a round body and legs at the corners . She could hardly walk but wasn't even sick.
Seems absolutely fine - I'd have been more worried if it had been a dry food, but this was Nature's Harvest! I try and keep to the rule about not taking them out too soon after a meal as Standard Poodles are one of the breeds prone to bloat. Bogie the greedy cocker spaniel once got into a huge sack of dog food. Ate until he was sick. And then ate that.
Little thing?! He's quite big! Though actually I think he still thinks Witty and Bogie are bigger than he is because he was only eight weeks old when he got him and even Witty towered over him. He's a big, powerful dog but the biggest wimp out - he loves playing with other dogs but as soon as one starts to tell him off he's on his back submitting!
hehe naughty pepe. Phoebe is a bugger. she could open our old fridge so i had to put child locks on, counter surfing, she can also open her food barrel and a few times has just helped herself to breakfast.
Oh my goodness - I hope none of mine ever learn to open the fridge! I spent a fortune on kitchen bins before I finally found one that the dogs couldn't get into. They're all thieves given the opportunity. Mind you, none of them are as bad as Dave, a cocker spaniel I know. Ate a bucket load of live mealworms.
If Chloe, who's only the size of a cat, is anything to go by I don't think that dogs really have perception of size. Today at our training class, Kinga the trainer laughingly remarked to me that even though Chloe is so small she thinks of herself as a VERY LARGE DOG. I have to agree with her that lurking somewhere in that tiny Tibbie body there's an Irish Wolfhound trying to get out !
Lol, it's funny - little dogs almost always seem to have have BIG personalities Wonder if they take after their owners?
I put my dogs dry food at 8am in morning & it stays down until 8pm, they will go to from the dishes to eat when they want & not bolt it down like my friends dog does.
phoebe used to do that till somebody told me i should make her eat it in 1 go at meal times. she now has 2 big poops on walks instead of 5 little ones in garden and i dont have to worry about fly ects on her food as within 2 mins its gone and bowl is being washed
, Yuk I have told the story before on Dogsey about Marta the Schnauzer puppy who managed to get onto the breakfast table while I was on the telephone and when I came back she was sitting in the dog bed looking innocent with a beard stiff with gunge She had emptied the butter and marmalade dishes and sugar bowl
dogs defiantly dont care about size. Phoebe is petrified of doug the pug that lives next door - she wont come out if hes in the car park and if we see him when out we have to come home. everybody laughs at her trying to run away from him.
The GSD that Chloe bit on the nose is terrified of her. He only has to see her in the distance and he'll run off home!
