When we first got Tawny she only weighed about 6 pounds at nine months old. We try to restrict her food but the only way we could is to feed her by hand. This is how our dilemma started. We purchased Tinkerbell about three months ago. She is a very small Yorkshyre terrier weighs about 2lb. I won't say the dreaded C word or I might get in trouble. We had to make sure she ate three times a day to get some weight on her. As I said the only way she'll eat it if there is competition between Tawny and her. What a mess I'm in!
The other day my wife had had enough of this dog feeding mess so she tried something else. At feeding time she separated the dogs and gave them a small portion. Of course Tinkerbell would not eat just stood there with tears in her eyes looking at my wife. Tawny immediately kicked over her dish and ate two pieces and then started to cry, so said my wife. We are back to the routine and feeding mess.
Even though we feed Tawny the same amount of food that we feed Tinkerbell, Tawny is still 9 pounds and Tinkerbell is 2 and a half pounds?
