I'll think on it and try the chicken suggestion. Another thing I should probably stop doing is sharing her food with Ringo. In order to get her to finish her breakfast, I would take the last of her food (that she left uneaten) and take turns giving her a bite and Ringo a bite. That is the only way she would finish eating. I may have created a little problem there. It's no longer fun for her but me taking her food and giving it to Ringo - maybe that's how she sees it now. I never did it with her dinner food; just breakfast because she never wanted to eat.
I do think that the problem today on the bed was that Lucy had a chewy up there. So, no more chewies on the bed. I'll start putting Ringo up there first.
Yes, even though Ringo has established himself as the 'alpha'; she now goes out the door first and leads on walks. Ringo doesn't seem to care; he likes to take his time and she likes to walk fast. Ringo can still take a toy out of her mouth if he wants; but usually is content to let her have the toys.
I think I am going to have to do some training with her; she has always been so compliant and easy.
Perhaps a trainer is in order. I don't want this to get out of hand. |
Sometimes we let things slip away from us until they become an issue. You just need to get your little Lucy back in check.
