Hi Everyone! I have decided it's time to find out if this behavior is normal?

We feed our mini Schnauzer (Hansel) once per day, in the evening around 4 pm.

We have always had dry food in Princess Sophie's bowl throughout the day and evening (when we can keep Hansel from steeling it) and she has recently decided that she doesn't want her food throughout the day but will eat ravenously when we fix both dog food bowls for Hansel's 4 pm meal.

When the DH fixes the late afternoon meal, he really does it up for both of them and they love it. They both get some green beans, boiled chicken, their dry food (Sophie gets 3 tbsp.), and a bit of water added to make gravy.

We have always fed our adult pets once each day with treats throughout the day.

My concern is that Princess Sophie is now about 5 1/2 months old, weighing 3 lbs. 13 oz. Is this behavior normal? I'm still leaving out food for her during the day but she doesn't touch it. Should I be concerned??
