Dogs eat 3 times a day, small meals, once when I get up usually around 5 or 6 in the morning, once at noon, once at 4pm or thereabouts.<br>At night they get me up between 2 and 4 <a href="http://a.m.to">a.m.to</a> go out. I let them out let them in, give them a treat, they go back in the crates until breakfast. No big deal.<br>
Recently however, they have all awakened me gakking. Not all of them at once, but they seem to pick one each day. One night it's Llewis, next night it's Conley, then Nigel. Cooper stands by my bed and gaks.<br>They don't puke. They're not bloating.<br>
<br>Basset Time is very fixed, usually around meals. It doesn't matter what time the Government says it is, or that one day it is 1pm at 1pm and 2pm at 1pm the next day. Mealtime time is Mealtime.<br><br>So I decided the length of time between the 4pm feeding and breakfast was too long, and I added a 6pm feeding, cutting their meals accordingly and giving them maybe half of their regular rations at 6-- just something significant in their tummies besides the 200 biscuits they score between meals.<br>
No more gakking.<br><br>We'll see......<br><br>MomPerson to Nigel, Llewis, Conley and Cooper<br>
