So I finally found a food that Russ likes and I created a monster at the same time.
The food he really really likes is Natural Balance Duck and Sweet Potato (small bites), and I can guarantee that he will eat everything in his bowl. Yeah right? Well yes and no. Because you see he has turned into a food tyrant. He grabbed a page from his Grandpa Fred's playbook and feeding time looks something like this at the Gibson Ranch...
Three bowls, scoops of food hit the bowls, and some broth to add allure and then bowl 1 goes to Russ, bowl 2 to Shaker Baby and bowl 3 to Music. Then the fun begins as Russ sends his tyrant look he learned from Grandpa Fred out to his fellow Cardigans. Music sits by her bowl and doesn't touch a drop while Shaker being new to the game gobbles his up. Shaker again new to the game will inevitably make a move on Russ' bowl and this gets him pinned to the ground for his efforts. After Russ finishes his bowl and Shaker is properly cowed, Russ moseys over to Music's bowl and takes a couple of nibbles. Then and only then does he pronounce that is it acceptable for her to eat her food.
I have tried all manner of things to get her to eat while the boys are eating but no go--even in a separate room she will not eat until Russ' says "OK". Yesh what have I wrought!
