January 27, 20214 yr about a week ago, our dog decided that she's afraid of her food bowls...hell, all food bowls. same exact bowls in the same exact location filled with the same exact food she has eaten for the past 4 years. dog's are loyal...but they're also f'ing stupid.

Not eating much at all the past few days and won’t eat this morning. We’re just trying to keep him comfortable. His favorite blanket does the trick. My wife is dealing with it well, for now. She’s going to be a mess though if we can’t get him back to some normalcy. good dog. Name so i can put him in my prayers ?
January 27, 20214 yr on a side note, i believe i have the fastest dog in the world (or am still getting used to game dogs): Sunday night and I'm dealing with work. Kelcey starts whining and jetting back and forth between the livingroom and the back door. This usually means her squirrel friend is on the fence and she (Kelcey) wants at it. Finally i give up and just open the door. Kelcey races for the back fence and disappears in the dark. I close the door and head to the kitchen for that shot of cabo wabo i so deserve after dealing with these idiots in our Gulf Coast division. Then the three point perfect mental storm kicks in: Wait....squirrels aren't nocturnal But, OH crap SKUNKS ARE INTENSE VAPOR WAVE COMES IN THROUGH WINDOW I quickly lock the door, instruct everyone to NOT let her in and head up to grocery store for peroxide. I get home and the house has the scent clearly (but not overpowering), mix up the formula (4cps peroxide, 1/4cp baking soda, 2tsp dish soap) and proceed to bathe her. 5 minutes go by after hitting her with the formula and I rinse her off. I'm shocked because there is no smell at all. Then i get to her hind quarters and check her tail....there's the slightest scent on the back 1/4 of her tail (where i hadn't gone with the formula) and that's it. Seems she ran at the skunk, remembered what they had for ammunition and turned at the last second, getting only the tip of her tail. they still have dog tracks in Jersey ?

Is her collar clanging against the bowl? If it is, try taking it off and see if that helps

We thought of the name laying in bed watching the replay of the 2006 game against Dallas when Lito Sheppard sealed it with the pick 6. I don't joke about that. We named Kelcey after Jason Kelce.

What about off of a plate? Our one dog, who is much, much older, started having trouble eating out of a bowl. Then had trouble out of a raised bowl. Now we are doing a raised pasta plate and that has been working well.

Couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog until this past summer.

January 28, 20214 yr Sorry to hear! I had to put my 14 year old black lab Molly down 5 years ago......2 years ago, my gf and I rescued brother and sister lab/pit pull mixes....Dot and Dash are now creating craziness in the household. And I swore....would never get another dog......

My first dog when I was still in elementary school and living with my parents obviously, died well over 20 years ago and I still have a hard time with it every now and then.
