Okay, we have a rescue that we adopted in May named Zander. He was brought into the rescue in October 2009, we began fostering him in January 2010. My wife couldn't part with him so I adopted him for her for our 14 year anniversary on May 3, 2010.
He is estimated to be between 8-10 years old and came from a puppy mill as a stud.
So here's the deal. All of our kiddos (5 of them) have separate dishes at food time. Zander likes to eat in front of his crate in a separate room (not blocked off from the others, just likes to eat in the laundry as opposed to the kitchen).
As of late, he has been eating "part" of his food...then sauntering into the kitchen and moves close to the others and starts growling at them until they move away from their dish.
He then proceeds to eat their food....and after he makes his rounds, he goes back and lays beside his food dish but won't touch it. They all get feed the same thing and it is prepared the same way.
Any ideas about the new behavior? We haven't had any new additions and all of them have been together since he arrived.
