<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>It sounds like Nancy's Tina is like my Holly --- have you
ever known any people who do not like to eat, who tell you they only eat
because they have to? I know several, and that's Holly, she really
doesn't like to eat much of anything. Except canned cat food, she likes
that. Treats – we turn our head or get up and walk away.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>My girls get fed twice a day, morning and evening, plus a
treat right before bed. Well, Holly and I have this ritual that we go
through at every meal of every day. She comes running when I put down her
bowl, looks at it, then sits down and stares at the bowl, then at me, then the
bowl, then me again. So I tell her to eat your breakfast/dinner
Holly. Then she gives me this totally disgusted look, like she is saying
what kind of garbage is this??? Then I say Eat Holly! and I go to
the sink and start rinsing out the bowl we prepared the food in. Once I
turn the water on and turn my back so that I can't see the accusing stares,
Holly starts eating. And cleans her bowl and licks it totally clean.

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>Every now and then we have a day when she refuses to eat
breakfast. Nothing wrong, no sick tummy, if I offer the girls something tasty
like a bite of pound cake or a little hunk of sausage she will eat that, just won't
eat her breakfast. So I pick up her bowl before Anna the Pig can get to
it, cover it and put it in the fridge for dinner. I don't understand
people/dogs that don't like to eat, I just don't get it. Of course Holly
is always lean and trim, just like people who don't like to eat are always
skinny. Gracie, Anna and I are not lean, trim or skinny. We like to
eat.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
