Have we been outsmarted by our lovely little 4 lb hairball?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LittleMissChloe · 03-13-2007, 11:44 AM

So a few days ago Chloe decided she was going to go on one of her starvation strikes again and not eat her doggie food (and believe me when she does this it is not easy to get food in her). So after trying all flavours of her ceasar, and pretending we were going to eat it, we decided to try her on some bologna... and she ate it. Well this doggie food strike has been going on now for five days... and day after day trying to get her to eat ceasar always ends the same... boiled chicken and carrots. So today at supper I tried an expiriment, i put a container of ceasar on the table, pretending it was my food and gave it too her that way... and what do you know... she ate it all. I do believe that once she realized that if she dont eat her doggie food, shes going to get human food she decided to see just how far she can push it. So the question is now... have us supposedly intelligent human beings just been outsmarted by our lovely little 4 lb hairball (who is very much a lil smarty pants in every way)?

Well that is just too cute! :P

I believe very much that dogs are as smart, if not smarter, than us!

Ugh! That's Peeka Boo alright.

He won't eat anythin unless he thinks I want it. Stingy little bugger. He won't eat unless I block his view from it and pretend to eat it.

our vet told us once "a dog won't starve themselves"

Awww Mom, she just wants what you have. Katy stopped eating wet food at about 8 months. She just decided one day she was done with it.

She sounds adorable. A feisty little girl! Max is also on a semi-hunger strike.
He wants my food, but usually by dinner he eats his food all up once he realizes that no matter how cutely he looks at me, puts his tiny paws on my legs, walks out in a huff, mutters to himself, he's just not getting any.
