| Eating and Outside Playtime Questions Hi wonderful YT experts! I know you're probably getting tired of "Zoe Questions", but I have a couple more. Zoe,5 months, has been doing very well for about a month. The last couple days she hasn't been eating well. I checked teeth, and they look like teeny little nubs barely beyond the gums--may be teething and her mouth just hurts? Would you recommend soaking her dry food, or feeding canned for now? Second: She wants to go outside and play...for a long time in my opinion...maybe 30 minutes, then in for a half hour or so, then out again, and so on. (I do go out with her...sometimes more fun than others ) I'm concerned that it is too cool for her to be out that long, but think she would shake or want in if she was cold. She's only 2 1/2 lbs, and her little paws are just about the size of a finger, so I'm worried she'll get sick or injured from the cold without knowing it. I also know that she shouldn't play for too long, especially since her calorie intake is down. Advice? As always...thanks so much everyone!

| Thanks so much. Gave her some canned food this morning and it seemed to spur her on to even eat some dry. I will keep her resting more today...even though she is a wild woman and wants to be out playing in the melting snow!
