Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / Scoffing food!
- By akh0706 [gb] Date 10.06.09 20:14 UTC
I posted on here ages ago that Molly my EBT was a very fussy eater. I eventually went on to Nature Diet which she loved. But she was only eating 1/2 to 1 pack per day & then she'd only pick at it. In the last 3 weeks or so she has been eating 2 packs, 1 after another, like she's never eaten before. Also she's been asking for her food around 3pm when it's dinner is around 6pm. She'll be 4 in Aug & weighs 26kg.
Am I looking too much into this or just be pleased she's eating so well!!!

My EBT is an utter pig- which bullies are renowned for apparently- so maybe your girl has found the joys of scoffing now in adulthood!  I put a little water into Snoops bowl of dried food to stop him eating too fast as sometimes he would inhale a bit of biscuit! so i would have to nearly give him the hymick maneuver but with a drop of water takes his time now.

Same here i can feed my girl her large meal take her out and she STILL walks with her nose to the ground like a hoover she knows exactly where to go when we walk thu flats where people thow food over their balconeys for the birds she's straight their, drives my OH insane but if i take a sausage in a bag with me she will go nowhere but by my side Greedy Greedy mare lol,
do any of your bullys tip their food bowls over this is something my girls done alot and her son does the same i have to put their food in a wide large bowl instead of a deep bowl or it ends up on the floor, as for the telling you when its dinner time my boy does this i have found him to be very vocal indeed he tells me when he wants to go out ,play,and eat lol , even barks for a cuddle love him,

My snoop has never knocked his bowl over but will carry the food bowl to you and if you take it from him and put it up out the way, he will get all the other bowls lying around my place to try and blag you to fill at least one of them for him! If I then have a collection of bowls he will stand there and moan and groan at me for England until I give in and feed him! If I ignore totally with the bowl he then will take his bowl to his bed and give me the starved look...
I have a fruit bowl that he can get to and has on purpose knocked an apple down and munched on that, luckily he has not got at my bananas yet has they are his favourite food. He will eat absolutely anything carrot & parsnip skins even. My other 2 dogs will eat it as well now- not to miss out.

Lovely to hear from fellow Bully owners! I've only met 1 owner before.
Molly doesn't carry her bowl around, but pretends to bury it by scraping her nose along the floor & over her bowl. She let's me know when she's hungry or tired by poking everything off of the coffee table with her nose & stealing magazine & shoes!
Do you Bullies walk on their tummies? Molly does it to show off....usually when another dog ignores her & she wants attention.
Wouldn't swap her for the world!

so funny you should say my two will flop down legs stretched out and crawl along my younster does it on the way back from the park i think its his way of telling me hes not ready to go home just yet lol,
they both knock their bowls with their noses like they trying to tip the food over the floor then they will cover their food bowls with their bedding like their hiding it pair of nutters they are,

> Do you Bullies walk on their tummies?


lol yeah my boy does this he like 'dry hump' the carpet... looks disgusting but he seems to love rubbing his belly in this way- my mongrel tinkerbell shes a mix of patterdale/staff & lab! she copies him now and drags herself around the front room like it with just her two front legs - I call it her seal pup mode.

When poohpee was a puppy he would be on a grassy spot have a roll about and root himself to it and refuse to leave too, acting like his legs have gone limp.
