Tatum was not a good eater right when we brought her home either (she was 9 weeks old). I had to roll one little piece of food at a time across the floor so she would think it was a game. Eventually she would eat out of my hand and at that time I remember thinking "were we going to have to hand feed her forever??"! But then she started eating out of her bowl. Just keep in mind that if you start fixing her special meals just to entice her to eat, you could be asking for trouble later. I know there are moms out there that don't mind fixing a special doggy meal but make up your mind and try to stick to it. If you want her to only eat dog food, keep working at it! They do say that a dog will not starve itself to death - they'll eat when they get hungry enough (if it's made available to them). I would keep up with the Nutrical though!
