I try to be a good mother

[klwilliams]

When I fed the boys yesterday afternoon, gooshy food even, they kind of picked at it and left it there and came back for me, kind of not interested. So I didn't feed them again until just now, which is more-or-less when I get up in the mornings usually. When I went into the back part of the house there was some truth to their assertions that they were starving, starving, I tell you. Also, Chaz very carefully told me how much, in grams, the boys should be fed. Faced with the hungry boys, I translated that to "a bowl full each" of crunchy food. They were gentleman about being fed, despite their urgency. We only spilled some of it, but I'm sure it will be taken care of.

Teresa's Shadow, who lives with me now, deliberately takes food out of her bowl in the kitchen and dumps it on the carpet in the dining room.

She eats most of it, but still leaves a mess of half chewed kibble. I cannot seem to break her of it. I think I need to be more aggressive about it. I've been policing the area and dumping it back into her bowl and not giving her any more till that's eaten.
