    Can't leave it down - they don't "do" dry food! They would give me the "you expect me to eat THAT??" look. Not at all spoiled............

    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    What I did for my RB dogs and do now for my cats is take the daily allotment of food, split it in 2 and they get half of it for breakfast and the remainder for supper. So 2 medium sized meals rather than one larger meal. For no other reason than it made me feel better about being at work all day knowing they'd had a good breakfast and wouldn't be hungry all day. I know, I'm such a suck!

    I've always fed my dogs twice a day, Breakfast & Dinner. They both would
    eat any time I served it up.

    I like the idea of measuring out a day's worth & then dividing it into two meals.

    I feed my dogs equal portions in the am and pm. When it was just RB Lacey and Layla, I was lucky to get them to eat! They would pick and walk away. That all changed the day Jake came into the house. No one's missed a meal since. Don't ask me why.

    I also feed my dogs two equal meals a day. They eat around 7-9 am and 5-6 pm.

    Not sure what you would do if he won't eat it all. Does he seem to lose weight when he's not eating it all? If not, I wouldn't worry about it too much!

    Logan can tell time and will let me know when it's 6pm, the widdle rascal! She trained me to give her a "cookie" after she does her outies,(even if she doesn't go, but just checks things out )but one is never enough. They're low calorie, but I've learned to take my morning joe upstairs because if I sit at the table, she'll plead for more cookies.

    So at dinner, I cut he food by 1/4 cup. Later, she maybe eats a rawhide on my tummy while watching TV on the floor. I figure that's enough. If I leave her food if I know I'll be late, she won't touch it.
