Oh where do I start...

I agree with everyone that I enjoy feeding them healthy human food with a passion.

Feeding and Eating was a BIG problem for the first year. TJ has IBD and he was on special food (Kibble and Wet). Once he got better and the IBD was under control I started to introduce human foods. They begged my for Green Beans and Romaine Lettuce from the salad I was making. And to my surprise they loved it - and wanted more. As time went by and constantly changing kibble b/c they were being picky, I decided to cook for them. This went really well, but, I also had 2 everyday poop eaters and Homemade food lead to 3 poops a day per dog and they were big and smelly and this just fed the fire to my little poop eaters (GROSS).

So, then I went straight into a Premade Raw Frozen diet. This was GREAT! They inhaled their portions faster than I could blink. They pooped 2 x a day like clock work and it was small and odorless. We were doing so well.

But, now for the past month I have had to change their diet again b/c we possibly have liver issues in both Roxy and TJ.

Now, feeding and eating has just become so fustrating. Roxy will and does eat everything in site (which is good b/c I think her liver is worse). But TJ - NOPE - He refuses to eat pretty much everything that I am allowed to feed him.

So all in all - I think it all depends on the situation. I don't mind doing anything at all for them - BUT - With TJ being a BRAT right now, I am really loosing my mind.

(sorry for the long post)
