Yes, I am doing this for her now, but she will still go to the other dog's dishes and steal a piece or two of the dry food. Sapphire isn't like most dogs, she is very picky with her food, and will not eat anything she is fed no matter what. When she is stressed, upset, or hurting, she will just completely stop eating. She is the "baby" of the family. Now, the other two, they will eat whatever whenever, and they tend to hide their pain, whereas Sapphire will let you know. She likes the attention and special treatment. So it is easy for me to tell if and when she is suffering. She is obviously uncomfortable, but she is doing very well. Thank you for your concern.
