Carrie - you say not to use the same food at the next feeding, I was wondering if it's ok to put uneaten food back in the bag or in a tupperware container for next time, mixed with fresh food. Sadie always leaves about the same portion, and it's a good size portion that would add up considerably! I always wondered just what I should do with her leftovers - and if she could tell the leftovers were back in her bowl.

Sadie's eating habits are much better than they were when she was young and insecure, so I decided I will try to put her on a regular schedule. Besides, now that she's older I really want to keep track of just how much she eats.

2 other curiosities - 1. sometimes Sadie takes food to another room to eat rather than over her bowl, and 2. Sadie would like me to leave the room when she eats, if I walk in she stops eating and doesn't return, sometimes she will eat when I'm there but she constantly looks at me to see if I'm watching her - any idea why?
