Kind of a spin off from Brians post earlier about diet. I always hear that Cavaliers are such "foodies" which is why you must watch their weight so carefully..as they really like to eat. Polly is sooooo picky and not at all food motivated. She doesn't like the things I hear so many other dogs do like fruits, veggies, yogurt, cheese, pumpkin etc..I try to get her to taste things and if I manage to get it in her mouth, she makes the worst "YUCK!" face and spits it out :yuk: lol It's so frustrating!:lpy: Some of these things look and smell so tasty that I even want to eat them! LOL And when it's time for meal time it takes her FOREVER to eat. Half the time I have to take a piece of her food (she eats raw) and hand feed it to her just to get her started. Then once she gets the taste of it she will eat.
The only raw bone she will eat is little beef marrow bones. Won't touch a chicken wing or other meaty bones.
I work at an awesome all natural pet food store and we get the yummiest looking treats and foods out there and I often special order diff things for her to try but rarely have luck. I'm at the point now where I just feed her the very few treats that she does like and let her eat on her terms and I guess should just be happy because she will most likely never have a weight problem. She's at a perfect weight for her small frame and is nice and lean. Just the "mother" in me likes to buy her little things and would love to see her be happy about them.
