    Oh my gosh do they ever - well, want to eat more, I don't necessarily feed them more. Keva is ridiculous she follows me around the house howling until I feed her and they all (except Skya - she doesn't eat like she's starved she just actually eats) eat like they are starved. I usually feed them just a bit more otherwise they drive me nuts with wanting food. But they (well, just the huskies, Killer NEVER turns down food and always gobbles it up as fast as he can) don't eat too well in the summer they just aren't as interested in food when its hot. Skya and Nebo especially are hard to get to eat Keva rarely turns down food. So I will feed Skya as much as she'll eat in the winter she needs some fat on her ribs she's always on the thin side. Keva and Killer would be fatties all winter if I let them but I don't if they start to look chubby I feed them the amount of food they get the rest of the year.

    Myndi and Sparky both eat more in the cooler weather. Actually, they eat what they should be eating, since their appetites decrease in the heat of the summer, and food doesn't interest them all that much. I just keep an eye on their weight to make sure that they don't start eating too much.
