thanks. I thought I was alone on this one. I thought that somehow I must be doing something wrong and being a bad mommy
. Against the vet's advise, I leave the food out for long periods because I need them to eat. I'm glad to see that some of you do the same
Putting him in one enclosed area while he eats is not an option any more since I stored the playpen a while back and they got so used to roaming around freely. I'm afraid that if I limit him now, he'll think it's punishment and besides, the way he eats...he'll take a bite, walk away for a stroll around the house, check on the birds outside or something, come back for another bite, walk away again and this goes on until next meal time. Then, we start the entire thing all over again
It does crack-me-up to no end to watch how diligently he tries to find a hiding place, (lol, I've seen the invisible dirt trick too!) while my little girl watches! She'll be back for it later, so he has to find a new place all the time. I felt so bad for him today that I tried to help by pointing out good spots and distracting my girl (though the smell will guide her to the treasures, hahahaha, especially the bully sticks).
I'm worried about bugs being attracted by the food and treats, though. I work sooooo hard to keep them out when the warm weather comes, but now with my new baby-boy and his obsession, they'll have an open invitation to the house
Oh well, I'll just have to research dog safe pest treatments and pray that he'll grow out of it soon or if it is a Terrier thing, learn to live with it
Talking about treats and our babies' obsession with them, enough to make them want to hide them, have any of you tried 'Veggie Lite' Vitality treats?
Especially the ones with apple and banana? My babies lose their minds over them. My girl looks and acts like a drug addict with bionic ears, desperate for a fix when she hears me open the bag! It's scary
