Two Meals a Day

Emme is now eating two meals a day, instead of her puppy three meals. I think that puppies are given smaller meals more often because their stomachs are small and cannot hold half their daily food at one time. Up to this time, Emme has been eating in the early morning, after our lunch and about 4 PM. She is a good eater, but inconsistent in the amount that she eats in any one meal. We have started giving her two meals a day and that seems to be okay with her. She is on the same meal schedule that Rudy is: once in the early morning and once before out dinner. Each week she grows more cleaver and more knowledgeable. She has learned many things and has many more to learn. I am pleased that she is growing up, but I would hate to lose all her puppy charm. I don't want her to grow up too fast. One of the characteristics that drew me to a Bichon is their reputation for keeping that puppy playfulness and curiosity all through their adult lives. I hope that is true, because she is just so much fun to watch and to live with.
