[nagdu] Feeding dog during long day?

[Deanna Lewis]

Daryl,
I try to keep my dog on a schedule for feeding. He eats breakfast around 7:00 AM and dinner around 5:00 PM. If I am out running around or working late, I try to bring his food with me and feed him wherever I am. Last week I was at the eye doctor till 6:30 PM and I totally forgot to bring him food. We had to stop at the grocery store on the way home and he was a monster in there! He sniffed everything, walked slow, would not pay attention, etc. I'd much rather have a happy fed dog, than an unruly beast, LOL. 
Deanna and Pascal

Hi,

I work from home now, but when I did work in a regular office, if I had something to do after work, or was going to work a later shift, I would bring my dog's food with me and feed her there around her normal time.

Hi!

jenny has been doing really well on the whole over the past few months, but I do have a quick question.

She eats breakfast between 6:00-6:30 every morning, because I go to work by 7:30.  On days where we don't do anything after work, she is nearly flawless in her work, but if I have appointments after work, say after 6:00 PM, she just loses her head.
She usually eats her dinner between 5:00-6:00 PM when we're home, or I have plans for the rest of an evening, though she has eaten later.  I have never been much of a schedule person, and Jenny doesn't seem to mind minor changes in routine in the evening... but if I am working out at the gym, she'll get her dinner when we get home at 7:00PM.
I am wondering if it might be helpful and keep her focused to feed her before leaving my workouts... or would this likely confuse her? Is this just a quirk I have to live with?  If I feed her a partial meal, how "partial"
should I feed her?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Daryl
