[nagdu] Kittens and your dog

[Nicole Torcolini]

I seem to be unable to find some of your previous emails. What breed is your
dog? Some breeds are more likely to not eat when there are changes to the
environment.

Thanks. As I said in my message we just came home in  may. Of this year. So
yes she is fairly new. I left her food down though and she finally started
eating. Eight the whole bowl and was drinking lots of water. Now she is
playing.

food again or even just wait until the next meal time. Is the dog drinking?
It may also help to let the dog know how you expect her to act around and
towards the kittens. Even giving her some time to see how you interact with
the kittens, especially as the newness wears off, may help her.

confused with someone else. /smile/ If she's new -- a year or less -- then
she may need a lot more reassurance and reminders of her place -- including
her importance -- than she might otherwise.

attention, too. Maybe she’s unclear as to where she stands right now. Play
with her, do some obedience maybe, and walk with her somewhere.

too curious to eat.

I'm sitting here on the floor tryingto get her to eat her food. Nothing is
working.
