What to do with them?

[BC_MoM]

Molly used to inhale too.

We either

1) Fed her meals to her kibble by kibble or
2) Every 3 seconds, we would cover her food with our hands and told her "sit", waited 3 seconds, and let her go back to her bowl, and then repeat.

Now she eats slower than Mickey, and I thought he was the slowest.

Since Lily is getting close to a year old maybe you can get a huge bag of kibble they can both eat. Innova has very small bites, I just bought a HUGE bag for both dogs...It was 30 something, no doubt it will last my dogs 2 or 3 months. I am mad now about why I bought such a big bag because it will probably go stale before they eat it.

I was suspecting my mom to have a new job by my birthday, and it's not like I'm on her every 5 seconds saying I want a new camera, I want a new camera . I currently don't know of any place around here that sells half the foods mentioned on here. We have a Petsmart, but that's about it. Unless our natural pet food store would have it..?

Petsmart carries the Nutro, and some other high qualty foods. They are the more expensive foods, but they last longer than the cheaper foods. If you can buy one kind of food they can both eat it will help your financial situation a bit. Roxy can eat the small kibble fine, especialy ifyou wet it down with a little water first.

[caseysmom]

Please don't take this the wrong way but your Mom paid 400+ for both Lily and tink and she buys crap dog food for Roxy. That part annoys the heck out of me..sorry just being honest.

[Roxyluvsme13]

Okay thanks.
I just want to apologize to everyone for being b**chy and not listening, too.
My mom has an interview next Wednesday, and she applied for another job today, so maybe she'll get one of those..

[caseysmom]

I think trying to find a kibble they can both eat will be cheaper for you for sure. I hope your mom gets another job real soon.

This is just what I think,

you dont need more bettas , why would indanger more animals lives when you cant even afford to feed your dogs good food..maybe if you didnt have so many animals youd be aable to save that money for better food..
Maybe instead of getting a new camera (wich you cant even use seeing as your USB plug is broken) you can get better food for the dogs. I know its not much of a birthday present for you but my dogs being well taken care of when I have little money would be my version of a good birthday present that could last me years.

[Flatcoatluver]

I just wanted to add, we would cook little hamburgers on the grill for the dogs as a extra treat. T.j loves it but is to afraid to eat it because one time he barfed it up.
Also I must say this, your bettas arn't even in a good size tank, you can't afford water conditioner for them. I must admit I feel very bad for Roxy being on the chain and being fed bad food, I know you don't want to Bri, but atleast listen to peoples ideas.

i agree 100%
sorry girlie, but everyone has their limits.

If you people had actually read , I'm doing what I can at the moment.. and as soon as I can I'm going to switch their food.

There is absolutely no reason for you to roll your eyes at anyone. No one has said anything for you to do so since your previous "apology" post.

I do hope you do what's best for your dogs in the near feature. I was very proud of you when I saw you were changing their food, taking better care of Roxy, etc.. but now you're back at square one it seems.

I think pretty much a majority of the members here feel the same.

[Roxyluvsme13]

I said I'm doing what I can right now, and I wish you people would just stay out of it now. I got the opinions I asked for and it's been settled.

I'm sorry everything's changed since a little while back. Everything's changed for me ever since the reason my mom's been out of work. My life has been so full of stress, I've given up wanting everything (hence the reason I got the bettas).. and yeah. Long story short, I'm trying..

I don't think you were being B&CHY, just VERY infantile and selfish.

When I was your age, YES 14, and actually younger, I used to babysit or make bracelets, ornaments with cheap beads, have yard sales with my junk and sell them. I'd bake cookies and sell them. I had one dog and it was given to us free.

When my dad was out of a job, with 4 KIDS and a wife to feed, me the oldest, I gave him my stereo, my headphones, my tapes, stuff to sell so we could EAT. I am very proud of what I did to contribute to my family when it was in trouble, not nag on how I wanted this or that.

YOU AREN'T A BABY. STOP ACTING LIKE ONE. GROW UP!

I really don't mean to attack you but this thread really got on my nerves apart from being pointless.

Another question: What on earth were you feeding them when they were eating raw? I thought feeding raw was more expensive than any kibble regardless of wheather they eat it or not or used to or whatever.

I hope your mom gets the job she wants/needs.

[Kfamr]

Very well said, Carmen..

I just wanted to reply to this..

Raw is actually cheaper if managed correctly. It can save lots of money.

As said, an overall healthy dog won't starve itself and dogs are often wierd when switching over. The best thing to do is if they don't eat it, pick it up and give it at the next meal. More than likely it'll be eaten at the next meal.

Also, Roxyluvsme, a tip..

If you don't want EVERYONES opinions, don't asking for them at all.
Karen should be able to close this thread if need be.
