Hi guys. Mods feel free to move this if it's not in the right spot.
This is about my dog, or J's (we picked her out, he pays the vet bills) dog Luna. Who's a beagle.
Right now, J is deployed overseas in pirate territory and his mom is now living here to watch her and help pay for groceries.
I love her (j's mom and of course Luna) to pieces, sweetest lady I know. (I like her more than MY mom.) But..
*grits teeth and such to hold back frustration*
Good gravy, holy crap and omg... she spoils Luna with ppl food.
Not big amounts mind you, little pieces of it and usually it's fruit. But this alone deters her from eating her own dogfood. Even going as far as barely touching her food for more than a day. I say more than a day because I try to get her to eat dry food instead of canned. So I have little choice but to add warm water to make her food wet.
While she does eat her food, after I make it wet, give her wet food. She is still thin and I'm worried. I know for certain that it's damn impossible to break her of a bad habit once she's got it.
J is fully aware of his mama spoiling and we both tried to tell her to stop it but...she doesn't listen cuz I still catch her slipping Luna food.
J was like 'well she needs to gain weight' and such but I'm more determined for Luna's health. She's my dog too
at the same time I feel like my hands are tied because this is his mom. I respect her and...I don't want it to be unpleasant for the next 6 months while J is away.
old pic but yea that's her.
Any advice to break Luna of this habit? Or should I do the wait it out until she's hungry enough to eat dry food.
