Hi Everybody,

My Tito seems to be affraid of bowls. He has used metal bowls, clay bowls, platic bowls. I've had Tito since 5 weeks old. I started noticing this behaviour since december 2009. He wouldn't eat his food but would drink water. So I got him a new dinning set for christmas to see if that would cure the problems, it did not. I thought the refelection and shinniness (if thats a word, lol) was distracting him. So I went out and got clay bowls. He still doesn't go near them. I tryed to see how he would eat. He eat off a dish and off the floor by himself. Tito will only drink & eat out of a bowl if its hand-held. I have been told not to baby Tito. By friends and Ceaser Millian says the same thing. I do not know what to do. Now since the snow (all winter long he ate snow) is gone and it rains. It has created puddles. Tito drinks from them like he has never seen water before. I am having a brid cuz hes a small guy that comes with large vet bills, lol. Seriously, does anyone knows any tips to get him to drink and eat from bowls. Or know anyone that can help us. Thank you so very much for your time.
