One big mistake I made with a departed furbaby is that we gave her table scraps and fed her from the table. Dinner time could be a nightmare with the begging and when my daughter got a Chihuahua it was double. I will never do that again. GL never gets anything from the table and usually only gets Cherrios as treats. He does not beg and most of the time lays down when we eat dinner. All of his snacks are made for dogs. He gets a really good chicken treat for training and an occasional Milk Bone. Once or twice a year he will get a very well cooked ham bone. I use them for soups and after the soup has cooked for 12 hours or so I will take the bone out, rinse it well to remove any salt and seasonings from the soup and give it to him when it is cooled. That is his favorite. |
