[nagdu] Kittens and your dog

[L Gwizdak]

Hi Mandi,
Good luck with the new dog!  I'm still awaiting a match for me. I'm also a 
TSE grad.

What is the dog's breed? I can't imagine a Lab not eating!  Are the kittens 
around her when you want her to eat? Kittens can be a big pain in the butt.

I would keep the kittens in anouther room away from your dog as she eats.  I 
also wouldn't be on the floor coaxing her. Put the food down for awhile and 
walk away. If she doesn't eat it because she's more interested in the 
kittens, just quietly pick it up and save for the next meal.  She won't 
starve to death!  She'll learn that she'll just be hungry and wil most 
likely chow down when the food reappears. Don't make a big deal or show 
anxiety about it. Just have things like normal.  Oh, make sure the litterbox 
is way out of the dog's reach.  The cat leavings are a delecasy for dogs.

HTH
