[Dailydrool] Boomer's bad eating habits and your suggestions

[R Groves]

Keep in mind.. that taking up food and having a hound go hungry can elevate
food aggressiveness.  Please keep a watchful eye on the hounds as they may
start acting out because of their hunger.
 
Equate this to when you were a kid.. you complained.. complained...
complained.. and kept after your mom.. hounds don't know how to be civil
like that.. and will if given a chance steal food, or worse start a fight
with their others over perceived treats and food items.
 
I would say you're on the right course of action (withholding)... but its
that extra attention that you want to make sure no fights break out over
food items..

Second, Boomer didn't finish his meal in the allotted time this morning, so
I picked up his dish, and he can have it for dinner. I'm pretty sure my mom
did this to me when I was a kid, and eventually I was hungry enough to eat
it, so I'm betting Boomer will be, too.
