Rescue Dogs for Adoption

Hello. My name is Tam. I live in Orange County, and I rescue dogs. This is my blog on my rescue dogs. They are looking for new homes. If you know anybody who is looking for a dog, please let them know about my blog. You can e-mail my posts to your friends by clicking an e-mail icon below each post. Please spread the word about rescued animals. Pets are always available for adoption at local animal shelters, too. Please always think about adopting first when you look for a pet.

Hand-feed your dogs

I feed my dogs dry dog food for breakfast.
I cook for dinner for them but I have busy mornings, I consider dry dog food as cereal for them.
They seem to like wet food better, and every morning they stare at the bowls of dry food and look up at me, and sit still.
I don't want to spoil them so I usually just leave them alone, and eventually they slowly eat it, and finish everything by around noon.


Now my kids' school is out, I have more time in the morning. I saw ZsaZsa struggling to pick up small pieces from her bowl, because of the shape of her mouth (?), one morning, I helped her eat by hand-feeding her dry food piece by piece.
She waited for every piece anxiously, wagging her tail, ate quite a lot off of my fingers.
Then, my other dogs came and started waiting for the dry dog food pieces with ZsaZsa, looking enthusiastic.
I was totally puzzled to see their passion for the food they normally pretend doesn't exist, but began to wonder if it was the hand-feeding that was making the boring food hard-to-get yummy treats.
I kept hand-feeding until the bowl got empty. They wanted more.
Weird, totally weird, but fun!
Since then I hand-feed them every morning. Every morning, they eat with great passion and eat a lot.
Once the school starts, I won't be able to do it but it will be good for all of us while it lasts....


Hand-feeding breakfast...ZsaZsa is so cute!
