Buddy has a house guest this week and next. His cousin, a 5 year old Havanese, is visiting while our daughter and her family are away on vacation. Her name is Bella and she is a sweetheart. Quiet and well mannered. It is good for Buddy to have canine companionship because he has begun to think he is a "PERSON"
Buddy has previously gotten picky about eating his kibble. He thinks if he waits long enough he just may get some "people food" He spends most of his day in our kitchen den combined and smells everything we cook and eat. Some days he has gone all day without touching his food. We have been pretty good about not giving him bites of our food.
Bella arrived. She is fed once a day in the morning in her crate. If she does not eat it all in 30 minutes we must take it up until the following day. Therefore she is very hungry and gobbles up HER food. The first day we fed Bella we let Buddy watch her eat. Good example. We fed Buddy and he ate all his kibble in a hurry! What an incentive seeing another animal eat up the food!!
I wonder what else Bella will teach Buddy while she is visiting.
