Mr Fussy is Fussy.

OK, so Enzo refused his chicken wing last night. He's getting extremely fussy these days. If it's a meaty bone, it's too much effort. If I remove chunks of meat from the bone, he'll eat them, but not if I present it as is.

I can only assume he's too lazy to chew it. I even let Buster chomp the end of the wing (a nice dose of healthy competition to prompt the dog to eat his food?) but even that didn't work.

So I left it there. I could remove it and give him todays chosen breakfast (chunks of Turkey with some tripe) but, he's eaten rather a lot of offal (liver) and rich meat (beef) recently, he needs some chicken and bone in him (too much info, but this morning his poo was horrid. It wouldn't have been if he'd eaten the chicken wing & bone last night. Pesky dog.)

So I'm taking the hard line stance and leaving it down, I know he'll eat when he is hungry.


This morning Buster had 110g of turkey & bone which I managed to remove from the turkey back, and around 58g of green tripe.
Pictures later.



Update:

Enzo still refused to eat the damn wing. Even after our walk he refused it. I gave in.

I gave it to Buster (along with his dinner - 488g of Turkey & bone! Which means buster's had around 715g of food today. Not including the sandwich he managed to find and inhale on our way to the woods(!) It's no wonder that dog is looking 'chunky').
Light meals for the next few days I think!

Anyway, so before I gave Buster the turkey I trimed about 59gs off it and put it in a dish in the fridge for Enzo.
So after I gave Buster the chicken wing (which he ate happily in about 2 bites, or 0.533 seconds ;) )I gave Enzo the fresh dish of turkey. Which he wolfed down in under a minute. He was obviously hungry. Pesky dog.

So, chicken wings are out, it would seem. At least they are for Enzo. And they are too small to provide a good value meal for Buster (he'd need to eat at least 4 in one sitting, lol).
Oh well.

Tripe, chicken carcass, and lamb bones over the next few days I think.
