Morning Meal


 MORNING MEAL & ROUTINE

 

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:

  • They eat around 8:30am.

  • 1.5 scoops of dry food for Tina,
    mixed with 1-2 tablespoons of wet food (& a little water).

  • 2 scoops of dry food for Ellen,
    mixed with 2-3 tablespoons of wet food (& a little water).

  • Put Tina’s food down first (kitchen),
    Ellen’s food down second (living room).
    Then hang in kitchen (to guard Tina from eating Ellen’s food AND to leave Ellen alone, which she prefers).

    • NOTE: If you’re having trouble getting Ellen to eat (after you’ve tried presenting it a couple x), take her & food into another room, close the door, and sit/ignore her. Eventually she will eat it. Or just wait 1 hr/try again.

  • Let them outside after they’re both done eating. (Push the door closed without latching it & they’ll nudge it back open when they want to come in.)

  • If it’s not a trail day for Ellen, the two of you will cuddle on the couch with you! Tuck a blanket under their chins & they’ll chill until 10 or 11am, when they’ll need some exercise.

  • Please replace water dishes once a day!
