Oh this is really funny. Click click click,.. chomp chomp chomp,...chick click click. I never thought about that. I guess cause my girls only eat before bedtime and not during. Now when they go to eat I am going to listen for this and think about this email every time. Really cute!

LOL Also they just love those frozen mixed veggies (corn, carrots, peas and green beans) and also green and red peppers. They would also eat vidalia onions but I read that green onions are poisonous to dogs and cats so not sure if I should let them eat regular onions. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com, "marsha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > > > I agree....as long as you rule out any medical reasons for not eating first. There are some medical reasons that could prevent a dog from eating even when it wants to.

Most of mine will take a few pieces at a time and put them somewhere else or run to the other side to eat one piece at a time, lol. > > Marsha > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Christy Sylvest > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com > Sent: Friday, July 13, 2007 1:04 AM > Subject: RE: [Chihuahuas] Crunchy food > > > I think puppies are like babies in that if they are hungry they will eat. If your puppy is not sick she will eat when hungry. I know that chis can crash quickly, but usually from not having food available not from not eating available food. I think the will to eat will overpower stubbornness in the end. If there is food available she will probably decide to eat it when she gets hungry. My chi used to do that where she would take a few pieces of kibble in her mouth and go somewhere else to eat then she would find something else to do for a while, but she just munched off and on all day and she lived into her golden years. good luck > > > > www.cnmpuppies. mysite.com > "Whether or not it is clear to you, the world is unfolding as it should." > -Desiderata > Christy Sylvest > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - -------- > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com > From: almostaphantom@ ... > Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 11:00:32 -0700 > Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Crunchy food > > I never feed either of my chi's the soft food. I leave the crunchy stuff out but I also in the morning take some chicken breast or left over pork chop and chop it fine( Pampered Chef chopper) I add any left over rice or mashed potatoes, peas, etc and if it is really dry, I add a small jar of baby food carrots (Mine seem to love them).I feed them that in the morning and let them eat the other stuff the remainder of the day. (Of course, they always get a small piece of cheddar or ham when I am fixing my lunch) I guess you just kinda have to trust that he is eating enough if the vet says he looks good....gotta remember how small his tummy is and how fast it fills up. He really doesn't need to eat a lot to get enough. > > *Kim* <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: > Ok, while I am in the process of figuring out this homemade diet I have a question about crunchy > kibble.
