When I think of a dog at it's dinner time, I think of setting the food bowl down and the dog inhaling it's meal with a happy wag of it's tail.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

I go to feed Kia and 60% of the time she'll take a couple bites and then walk off. If the cats dare to eat her food she'll come racing back into the kitchen and then will proceed to lay there guarding her bowl.

She has this attitude that she can eat whenever she wants, expects the food to be there when she feels like eating, and I'm getting a little fed up. I hate to waste food but and I don't want to starve her but I'm at the point where I'm just going to take her food if she walks away and say, "Too bad. Should of eaten it when I gave it to you."

Any suggestions?

P.S. I'm doing everything I can to get her not to eat the cats food. I don't think she's getting full on the stuff.
