Actually from what her old owners said she's used to eating lots of different fresh and cooked foods. I hope Luv Bug picks up some of those habits! She'd rather ant everything, then climb down and eat it from the tray. :banghead: Hmmm... maybe I should install a larger bowl beneath her food bowl to catch all of her anted food. Or would she just ant in again? :meh:

Nomi is a small German Shepherd/Kelpie mix; she's only about 55 lbs. Funny, Jixny's the one who's tall enough to look over the edge of the counter, but Nomi is the only one who steals food! :shifty: Her poo last night & this morning looked like those suet cakes you put in bird feeders. :laughin:


But you can't stay mad at a face like this:

And here's one for approximate size:

She's not very big, but she's nimble and crafty! :devil:

Oh how amazing she is already used to eating veggies!:dance5: Only pellets to go then:embarassed:

Wouldn’t that be great! I know for Henkie it helped LOADS to have Fea who did eat veggies! Even the first few days after they met so were not really friends yet, Henkie started trying Some new things:)

That sounds like a good idea actually! As Henkie and Fea walk a few steps with food and then dropped I give them food on a large plate to contain most of it so it doesn’t lie on the windowsill.

OMG I love love love them!!! Nomi fits her well too:heart: How pretty they are, and that sweet face of Nomi:faint: Impossible to be mad At indeed:D Whaha yeah I believe her poop was... odd:lol: That she ate those seeds is really :wideyed:! My rabbits eat bird seed when they can but I don’t see our dog or cats trying:lol:

Elvis was pretty chill in the early days too........... That's changed. ;) It's interesting that she likes nutriberries. Elvis will have no part of them. Although he does still like to eat some seed. His main diet is pellets but he'll only eat the fruit flavored ones- and of course, his beloved cashews. And he is finally eating more fresh food. I can't wait until your two cuties get to meet each other. :fairy2:

Another great thread to follow. I'm so happy she found a wonderful place to land with you and I look forward to all the updates and more photos! Nomi = too adorable!!!! Love that photo! I can relate to the seed eating dog. Years ago my yorkie Briggs ate a bowl of seed ( sneaky bugger would climb furniture to steal) and the next time he pooped it was a log of seed...:wtf:.

Puffin is precious!! A goffin is on my want list. They are just so sweet and fun!
Sweet? LOL. They have sweet moments. The rest of the time they are Tasmanian devils. I mean that in the best way, actually. Elvis is sweet and very smart but the cuddles are maybe a combined 30-40 minutes a day (in the morning and sometimes before bed). The rest of the time he is busy. Really busy.

Amen! :yes3:

Scary to think that this is the outcome we're hoping for:

A quick update before bed. Puffin was a little more active this evening. She played with a toy and even came out of her cage for a few minutes. :) Baby steps!

LOL. Hopefully, they become great pals. There are two females goffins at the rescue here. They came from separate homes. The one was pretty sick when she came (was nursed back to health) and extremely skittish. The other female completely took her under her wing and looks out for her. It's very sweet. So hopefully, Puffin and Love Bug become great friends too.

Oh, and it's like someone told Elvis about my post because he was a complete cuddle bug this morning and I had to make him get off of me so I could leave for work... which of course made me feel bad. They know how to work it. :rolleyes:

You'd mentioned them before, but it's even more encouraging to me that they came from different homes! That would be too perfect. :angel1:

I'm glad Elvis was a cuddle bug. I wish today was your day off so you could've soaked it all in! :swoon: Puffin was silly this morning, leaning off of her cage towards me. She didn't want to come to me, just the occasional scritch and lots of attention -also right before work. I hated coaxing her back into the cage when she's finally starting to come out. :(


Puffin started calling for me this morning when I took her bowls to change them, and Bug called to me whenever I was in the room with Puffin. :shocked4: Neither one called to the other, but Buzzard seemed to answer Puffin. :laugh: Her call is clearer, louder and not as raspy as Luv Bug's. Maybe she sounds like a mini macaw to him! That might not have been part of the plan, but we'll take any positives we can get!
