at the kennels I work at we give the dog's roxy size 1 1/2 cups in the mourning, plus gravy. Your need to devently give her more food. At ngiht we give them the same amount. I mean that might even be on the lower side, but we do this because they get tons of cookies their too.

I honestly don't see why you mom could say she loves roxy. I think love is giving a dog all she needs. offiusally in this situation, she isn't gettting all she needs
