Stupid dog. So my wife decided a while back that she wanted to give the dog a "special" dinner once a day in addition to the (expensive) dry food that we buy. She wants to feed her Cesar, that wet food made for small dogs. Uhh, like the twice-the-price stuff we buy isn't special enough? OK, whatever. Well, now the damn dog won't even TOUCH the dry food, and doesn't even touch the garbage (yes she loves getting into the garbage at night, mostly for the coffee grounds, this crazy mutt is addicted to coffee too, leave a cup sitting for more than 5 seconds and she'll sneak up and suck it down like a hoover). This dog would seriously rather starve for DAYS at a time and not eat ANYTHING until she gets wet food. I know, because there wasn't any garbage for her to get, and she didn't eat more than a few bites of dry food for an entire week. So I caved a few times, and gave her some wet food, knowing that this dog would obviously rather drop dead of starvation than eat the dry food, having tried the idea of "well she'll eat if she's that hungry" for a week. So she wolfs it down like she's starving, no doubt she is. Anyways, the other day I'm coaxing her to try and eat, give her fresh food, encourage her, bla bla. So I'm sitting here and she starts shoving her bowl across the floor with her nose, pushing it from the linoleum onto the carpet. I'm thinking WTF, are you that picky you want to stand on the carpet to eat and not the floor? So I watch her for a few minutes, finally go and move it right onto the carpet for her, hoping that she's going to eat. Nope. What she proceeds to do then, is use her nose to splash her water from one side of the bowl to the other, onto the dry food. She spent a good five minutes doing this, then sat for a minute and looked at it, had a small bite, and left it. I was shaking my head like, wow, this dog seriously hates dry food now, if she's that clever enough to use her nose and make the effort to soak it before she'll even touch it. I figured ok, fine, at least she'll still eat it, but no, sadly, apparently that's not good enough for her either. Sigh... |
