Yeah, I think you need to find a good dog food that she will eat. If you tempt them with too much, or give too many treats they will become more finicky and hold off for tastier food. Sometime sprinkling Parmesan cheese on their dog food helps, but I would withhold all treats and other foods for 24 hours and let her eat dog food. She will not starve herself, and she's old enough that she can go without a meal or two, and you don't have to worry. I even use Joey's regular dog food as "treats" because he went through a period of being ultra fussy, and it can be really difficult, but you have to tell yourself, that you are doing what's best for them.

Many older dogs, just aren't that into toys, and especially if they have not played with them as puppies. Joey loved all toys as a puppy, but at 2 ½ he is really choosy about the toys he plays with, and he really only plays with them if we are playing with them too. The first year was different, and he loved all toys.
