Monday is 4 years old .... she was alwayz picky ... I, too, hand fed her .... then when she turned 3 she finally ate the dry food .... and she was eating out of a saucer ... it was just in the last week when I foolishly put the paper plate down that this started (all my fault) ...
She doesn't rip the paper plate but if I use the cheaper white plates, after a week I saw a hole in the middle, so I switched to a coated plate last night .... I suppose itz not such an inconvenience, but i was just wondering WHY???? Does the paper maintain the "smell" better????
I actually use a mallet to "smash" her kibbles so she will eat it ... she seems to dislike the pellets as if they are too big for her. Shez 4.5 lb. and I am using California Natural Low Fat dry food. Maybe shez just bored???? Oh, and I also smash some cookie treats in with the kibbles .... (shame on me, I know)
Thanks for your response ....
