At our house it's a story of its own...
When I start taking the bowls out our newest member Alice the Basset starts to howl and climb like a cat on my legs By the time she's calmed down a little I'm hopefully done filling the bowls with kibble Alice is eating special gastro intestine food and Joey gets diet food, so it's three different foods to dish.
Before the filling of the bowls I've cooked some type of meat for them, usually lean beef mince. This is to get Boeboe and Bennie to eat at all The reason I go through this step is cos Boeboe HAS to eat, she's got empty tummy syndrome and will start to puke if she doesn't eat Bennie is just spoiled
When the kibble and the meat is dished out (they all get meat of course, no unfairness here), I start with the add on's... Joey and Lycka the Pug gets glucosamine powder, Boeboe should have it too but refuses to eat it since Boeboe is SO picky she also refuses to eat coconut oil and yogurt, which is unfortunate cos she's the one needing it the most cos of recurrent skin issues Everyone else gets both coconut oil and yogurt, Boeboe gets protexin so she at least gets something "good".
Occasionally they also get diatomaceous earth to prevent worms... it also has other health benefits. They don't like it much so I have to mix it with mince to get them to eat it
So when everything is in the bowls the real mission starts... I have to take Alice outside to eat cos she'll eat her food in 1 second and then start sucking up everyone elses so when she's done it sounds like a bear trying to get in through the door while the others eat...
Bennie and Boeboe can't eat in the same room, they'll start a fight even though none of them really want their food in the first place
If I'm lucky everyone finishes their food nicely without me having to hand feed some... and by some, I mean Boeboe and Bennie
Here's the gang starting from the left:
Boeboe, Bennie, Joey, Alice, Harvey and Lycka.
