Savouring The Flavour...

I gave my dogs chicken carcasses for dinner tonight - the older dogs and the foster got two each, the grey got three and the GD had about five. :D Anyway, I normally spread the dogs out around the yard and give them their pile each. So all the dogs start woofing them down, except Maisie. She likes to take her time. Once the others had finished I went inside (Maisie can look after herself!). I cooked dinner and fed the kids, then happened to glance outside to see Maisie still chomping. She was STILL finishing off the last carcass!! Seriously, it has taken her almost 40 minutes to eat TWO chicken carcasses. I have never known a dog to eat bones so slowly! Dryfood she gulps down, but I guess she just likes to enjoy the bones. LOL!

Nicky, our Cavalier used to take aaaagggeeess. I think he used to suck his bones till they disolved!

Yep! Koda Stafford really does not enjoy chicken frames or necks. You hand them to her and you can literally see her raising her lips so that they don't touch the raw bone and all of her body language is saying "yuck...if I absolutely MUST!"

Then she watches everybody else eat and watches your hands, probably hoping that she'll be offered something not quite as disgusting! If nothing is forthcoming, she'll eat it v-e-r-r-r-r-r-y slowly with a really disgusted look on her face, staring at you the whole time!

Wolf my sibe is the same. He eats chicken frames soooo slowly, and in a way that he doesnt get any chicken on him. Instead of holding it in his paws like a normal dog, he puts it on his hammock bed so its up highed, and chomps on it there

He also eats around the meat in his dinner to get to the biscuits, and eats meat last.
