Female GP eating
by Diana Stone
(DFW, Texas)
In January 2016, we adopted a rescued, beautiful, female GP who is 3 y/o. She is a housedog, but I keep water outside and put her food outside for her potty break before bedtime. We initially had to feed her boiled chicken and rice per our Vet because she wouldn't eat. They believe her history includes abuse and she is afraid of her own shadow. As per our Vet's instruction, we've been fixing a bowl mixture of 30oz+/- of dry Pedigree food and 13oz can of Purina Prime Cuts wet dog food. I also now sprinkle some (less than a tablespoon) bacon grease in it for aroma. There are some days she only eats a few bites and doesn't drink much water. She does, on occasion, eat the entire bowl. Her spine is easily felt; however, she has great muscle tone in her legs, trunk and flanks. We play outside every day and she loves it. Please tell me if her eating habits are normal for females. She weighed 100lbs in January, and I would bet around 85-90lbs now.

*ADOPTION PENDING* This wee girl came from a sad situation but she is moving forward in life. She was in foster and has, now, gone into her adoptive home.
