Helen's first mealtime

at

Straydog

 

Sweetie's eating in the main kennel (just left of center in the photo) while Helen stands in her enclosed feeding area, not showing much interest in her bowl of food on the little table in the corner.

Helen's food bowl is set into a hole in the top of the table so it won't slide off. Helen's still not showing interest in eating.

Now Helen is thinking about eating.

Sweetie's done eating, sitting by her empty bowl waiting for the caregiver to pick up her bowl. Helen's ready to be let out of her eating area. (This wait is usually never longer than 30 seconds.)

Brooke takes Helen's bowl. Sweetie wishes Brooke had left it so she could finish it off!

Brooke secured Sweetie in the double entrance gate area, and is holding Helen's bowl, and now the big pup decides to eat. Since this first day of regular meals, Helen has learned the routine of enjoying her entire meal alone in the "feeding gate" area.

Maybe Helen didn't want to eat because her name's spelled wrong on her bowl.

Brooke gives Sweetie a kibble to keep her happy while she's waiting for the hand feeding to finish.

Sweetie just wishes she could get in there to partake of this hand feeding!
