So it's close to 6pm, and so far Roxy hasn't eaten much at all today. This is a regular occurance. There has been food in her dish all day, but it seems the only way we can get her to eat unless she's totally starving is to put her food in an empty pop bottle and let her jump on it in order to get it out. This is something she's perfected now, and knows exactly where to hit the bottle in order for the food to come out. I just put some food in there and of course she ate it all up, but why won't she just eat it if it's in her dish?? What a little goof ball! She prefers to work for her food rather than just have it handed to her? Does anyone else have weird food issues like this with their pups?
