Good to hear of another dog who isn’t so hungry in the mornings. Thank you. I really wondered if the morning food thing was bad news until I heard from you. Again, YT comes to the rescue to ease our concerns! |
Yeah, Tibbe usually sleeps through the morning and into the afternoon unless I'm up and about busy. I noticed when I could walk him daily this spring, his appetite was better and he'd eat some breakfast. But I know he munches through the night as food left out is gone mornings usually.
I've started some elder enrichment exercise for Tibbe. Training him in different rooms of the house with his kibble as treats. He loves it, makes me more interesting to him and has perked up his morning appetite if I train him early. Now he's not sure how his mornings will go every single day so it's roused him into being more active. Danny wrote an excellent Blog on how to enrich your dog's life to help stimulate them. It's called "Smell Sniffing". His dog, Tex, is also 10 years old and will be 11 on 8-9-18.
I'll see if I can link to it:
