Have you hugged your fur baby lately??

This maybe a long blog, fair warning... remember, you're on riding on 'The Rambling Train'!! *giggles* We'll just see where this goes.

So, I've been leaving "quick notes" here & there about how we've been having problems with trying to get Coleman to eat from their food bowl.

Well, after MANY different things we've tried, he is finally eating out directly out of the bowl and in it's normal spot.

We're are still unsure what happened a few months ago when Coleman started being so scared he wouldn't eat. Both Hubby & I had to do everything from pouring the food on the floor and on a paper plate, just so we could get him to eat.

We thought maybe he was shocked on the metal bowl, or his tag hit it & scared him. So, he now has a plastic bowl... but it was still tough to get him to eat. We would even sit with him while he ate. He seemed to be a little bit more relaxed. HOWEVER, it was iffy at best.

Well, I was talking to a neighbor a couple months ago & she said only way she could get her one dog to eat was to mix a little bit of canned dog food with the dry. Soooo... next time I went to the store I picked up a couple cans. AND WHAT A LIFE SAVER that has been! Ok, not life saver... but a lot less stress!

Even though Coleman still scared a little, at least I've gotten it to where he will come into the living room and sit & watch me at the counter mixing his food together. See his eyes in the photo above... he was looking at the fork I had in my hand. LOL.

He's still a silly one... a lot of the times one of us still has to sit (or stand) before he's comfortable enough to eat. When he does finally eat, he woofs it down like crazy.

NOW, if only we can get Sunny to eat without waiting on my hubby to be home! Good grief... I think she's just getting old & she doesn't want to bother with it until she absolutely has to! (btw, a couple weeks ago, when Hubby was not home, to get her to eat, I had to give her JUST canned food. What a little spoiled brat she is! *grins*)

SPEAKING of Sunny... Earlier I was reading Kitty's blog & watched the video about how the ASPCA (?) has to put down so many animals because of over population... (PLEASE, read her blog BEFORE you watch the video... IF you decide to watch it. As she says, it's disturbing... but it SHOULD disturb you!!!) Anyway, after watching it, I went to go hug Coleman & Sunny... & this is what I saw!
I can't believe I actually got her to look at the camera! That's rare!!

Sunny just loves her stuffed animals! (I see a monkey, a bunny a frog... & that pink thing at the back of her feet, is a 'stuffed' tug of war bones. Can't remember what the other things is, maybe a bear?) Well, I shouldn't call them "stuffed" because most of them no longer have their stuffing!! It's funny when she starts in on a new toy!

Ok, that's about it for this ride. Hope you all enjoyed! Take care! (Off to go hug my doggies again!)
