Josie is one smart dog, isn't she? Maybe she just had a 24-48 hour bug, just like we people get, and now, even though she's feeling a bit better, she's decided that she likes having you and Rick "fawn" over her. The extra attention is nice, especially if we're not feeling 100% like ourselves. I think you're on the right track. Let her rest and get back to normal and if you have to hand feed her for another day or so, well, just take it one day at a time. I would think, though, that eventually she's going to figure out that she's got to eat out of her bowl or go hungry. But since you're her parents, I'm sure you'll figure out what you want to do. I'm just grinning.......smart dog, that Josie! And I hope she's doing much better today. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Kate 's message, "I told Rick that if that is what it took to get her to eat, then fine, I'll play her little game for another day or so, but then she is going to have to figure out how to eat all by herself again...I can't sit out there and hand feed her for the rest of her life!!!!
but all-in-all, I really do think she is fine....Thanks again Sandy, Vicki and Denise for your concern and help....you guys are all the best...." on 8:14:59 pm, Thu, 07/12/07
