The Dogs eat mainly after our supper when they are let back in the house and they have little treats (extra meat bits that no1 ate, beef bones, brown gravey <--- very rare, and usually my tomatoes from my salad.) but their bowls are full all day and sometimes they'll nibble. The cat eats every morning @ 5:30 am sharp and if no1 get out to feed her by this time she will bug you til you do.
