Prairie_Gurl Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Shadow is way too smart for her own good. As ya'll know she's part lab. And labs love to- you guessed it- eat. And eat. And eat. It's ridiculous!! So, she's figured out how to get two breakfasts!! (she gets breakfast lunch and dinner) When she's hungary she throws her food dish around. And we feed her. So, in the morning when my mom's around she throws the dish, gets food. When mom goes and dad comes, she throws the dish, gets more food. No wonder she's been getting chubby!! lol. Quote
courtnek Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Labs are part goldfish - they will eat till they burst!! LOL put a feeding schedule on the calander - Check marks for everytime she's been fed. That way your mom will know she's been fed and it wont be an issue. :D Quote
ILoveLabs Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Labs are part goldfish - they will eat till they burst!! LOL ah ha! that is the truth. And so are rotties. and guess what? my boy is a rottweiler/lab mix...boy can he EAT! holy cow. and labs are smart...tooo :D Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted May 11, 2003 Author Posted May 11, 2003 LOL. So true. I swear the only reason Shadow's still alive is because of her cute looks. My mom was up to "here" (wherever here is) with her anics just about every day. But, she's so cute!! I've tryed that feeding schedual thing, but I think my bro thought it was "funny" to check off it when she hadn't been fed. So, I thought it was "funny" to ring his neck. Mom didn't think so though... we just need better comunication in this house (ah ha... yea right)... lol. Quote
mouseatthebusstop Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 WE HAD A CAT CALLED CHARLEY WHO WOULD GET FED 3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY BY CONNING SOMEONE ELSE TO FEED HIM :) DIDN'T DO HIM MUCH HARM HE LIVED TO 17 YEARS OLD :) Quote
Prairie_Gurl Posted May 12, 2003 Author Posted May 12, 2003 I don't think feeding her 3-4 times a day is bad... just don't want her to get fat. (she's already kinda chubby) When I first got her she was really fat (when she sat down she almost had to spread her front legs because of her belly). But she was really cute. But, feeding her more when I know she already has enough is stupid... waist of food and money. She gets fed 3 times already... two cups each... sometimes more. lol. Quote
Rosebud Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 :D Sally & Rocket are on a feeding schedule, they get two cups of kibble to free feed on during the day, then they get two more cups of kibble for dinner with good food & broth added to it. Then they get dessert. They are supposed to get 6 cups a day for their size and breed but have reduced it to because of the additions to dinner & dessert. No weight problems, so now that it's pretty outside they get to start toning up those muscles. :angel: Quote
