Before dinner habits.

Yukon is not on a feeding schedule, I wait for him to let me know that he is hungry.

He will sit and/or lie down in front of the closet where his kibble is and stare at me from there. He also does the same thing in front of the fridge if he wants raw meat.

Mine run to the fridge and back, (we raw feed, so this is where it is kept)look at us, back to the fridge... Any time the fridge is opened, regardless of whether its feeding time or not, there are always 3 gsd heads that suddenly appear and poke around!

On this note I got a sample of a dog food that is made only for Germany's chain pet store.

Cold pressed so it does not look like normal dog food (I will tr ot get a pic this evening) and the flavours beef , duck and barley I believe. Oh my goodness my guys go crazy for it!

Except it is very expensive for about 20 lbs bag 64.00 Euros or 90.00 USD ouch I am not switching to that! But it made a nice treat for them

Rune gets restless and a bit mouthy and runs to his spot in the kitchen by the sink where he sits while I prep food for all six dogs. We feed the senior citizen first and he goes out with me to give Magnus his dish but Rune must leave it. Rune is next in his crate and when I say wheres your crate he starts leaping in the air and charging for the crate... it is really cute. He waits politely in his crate while everyone finishes and when I think everyone is ready Rune gets out and folks do a quick bowl check of each others and clean up crumbs. Rune has learned quickly to be polite... I like creating a situation where everyone feels safe to eat and keeps to the rules for harmony.

About 6pm Mariah will start pacing from the feeding room to where ever we are. If she has not been fed by 630 she will whine and start licking my hand, arm, anything she can reach. Once I stop what I am doing and head towards the kitchen to get her bowl she races in front and sits politely while I serve up. The other Girls let her do all the work until the food is mixed and ready to be served. Then they do the happy dance, bouncing up and down, racing to and from the feeding area, circling around me. You would think they never were fed

Bella could care less when she is fed. Until we got Duke she wouldn't eat it until the middle of the night anyway, now she begrudgingly eats whenever Duke starts eating so she doesn't lose out on her meal.

Duke is the first GSD that I have had who acts like he cares about food. We don't have a tight schedule for feeding, but if I wait to long he starts walking back and forth and giving me worried looks (like I might just decide not to feed him that night) and whenever he hears the can opener he sits and watches patiently as I mix up their food. (Oh how nice it is to have a dog who doesn't hastle me about eating!)
