[Dailydrool] How to get a basset to eat..........

[Pollyaanaa at aol.com]

Ok, I know.  This isn't usually a problem.  They'll eat whatever  isn't 
nailed down.  But, in the rare times that there is a problem, I have  found a 
solution.
Our Sam(antha) likes to beg, yeah, big shock.  If I am standing at the  
counter cutting something, she wants it.  The other day it was  celery.  She isn't 
a fan of the green vegies.  I gave her a piece,  explaining that she didn't 
like it.  She took it in her mouth, chewed a  bit, then left it on the floor 
with that look.  You know the look.   "Hey, what was that?!  Give me something 
better!!!"   Well,  instead of doing that I simply tried to take the celery 
away.  I said to  her if you aren't going to eat it, I will give it to the kitty.  
That is  enough for her, she ate it.  She has eaten broccoli this way.  Last  
night it was a piece of banana I was smashing for bread.  She likes  bananas, 
they're in her frosty paws for pete's sake, but not in it's original  form I 
guess.  Try to take it away and she'll eat it.  Oh, peas  too.  If you want it 
she'll eat it.  She kills us.
 
Lori.....thinking...what can I try next?
Sam(antha)....mmm, crunch, blech, mmm, crunch, blech....slurp.
Tater & Hazel...the not wannabeez.  We only eat our food....ok,  and bacon 
bits too.
