 Resourceful Or Sad
Our lil girl Jazzie was a puppy mill dog, then ended up in the hands of a lady who just wanted to use her to breed and make money. In talking with the lady when I went to get Jazzie, I know she didn't take good care of her, she was fed whatever kind of food whenever the lady felt like "tossing something in there on the floor to her." :-( We've had Jazzie about two months now and I try very hard to keep her on a schedual for her feedings, 7 in the AM and 6 in the evening, same as Mags. More than a few times I've caught her storing food in her bed (down the sides and under the blanket) inside her crate. I don't know if this is something she feels she has to do cause she was so used to not being on a schedual and never knowing if she was gonna get food again, or if she's just being resourceful. I feel bad if I take it out though, if it makes her feel better knowing it's there and she won't starve, then I'm ok with that. But, on the other hand, I don't know if leaving it there is such a good idea, there's times I have tried to feed her at the normal time and she doesn't want to eat, my thought is, she just showed down on her stash in her bed, lol. What would ya'll so? Leave it there or take it out?
