| My Little Closet Eater! We just brought Abigail home yesterday and she will not eat in front of us! I will catch her eating once I leave the room and she will stop if she sees me watching. We are now ignoring her until she is done. I hope this is a temporary behavior. Anyone else ever come across this problem?

| if i can remember, i think our little girl did that too...dont think she was that bad about it..but with her being so small, i had to make sure she ate... try holding her and feeding her out of your hands..i know they say that you shouldn't but i'd rather have my baby eating than NOT eating..especially at such a young age...it lets them know that its alright...

| Be careful not to give her any turkey skin, as it can cause pancreatitis. Boiled chicken would be much better. |

| Oh thanks!! That's god to know. I was giving her sliced oven roasted turkey breast from the deli, no skin. She had boiled chicken last night but turned her nose up to it today. Thanks though...I had no idea about the turkey skin.

| LOL Cute, Alphy is totally opposite. If I leave the room he runs after me to see where I am. He won't eat unless I stay in the room and then every time he takes a bite he looks to make sure I'm still there.

| Buddy won't eat unless I'm standing next to him or at least close by. I can't help you but I hope it's temporary for your sake. He also won't eat anywhere but home! Good luck with your new furbaby. |

| Des, you may not remember but you made a beautiful reversible dress, pajamas and panties for her in a T0. You were soo sweet to add an extra pajama as well!! She is going to make her YT debut in her gofetch attire next week, after she settles in and has a bath. Here are a few no frills pictures taken this week! We brought her home Wednesday and by Thursday morning she seemed like she had always been here. She is fasinated by Toby and Peanut although she only visits with them through a gate at this point. I am scared of her size with the two of them, especially Toby who already is not real thrilled about his new baby sister. LOL!!!

| She is just adorable. What a cute little button!! Well, I had a foster Yorkies that was that way when I first got her, but she learned really quick from the rest of the fosters and my dogs to eat when it's put down or lose it. I'm sure once she "knows" she is in a loving and safe home and isn't going anywhere else, she will eat no matter who's watching! |
